Is IgA Nephropathy Curable?

1. What is IgA Nephropathy?

IgA Nephropathy is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA---a protein thathelps our bodies fight infections---settles in the kidneys. The disorder can occur suddenly (acute), or progress slowly over many years (choric glomerulonephritis). When itoccurs, the IgA deposits may cause the kidneys to leak blood and sometimes protein in the urine.

2. Is IgA Nephropathy curable?

As a matter of fact, kidney disease usually can not be cured. When the kidneys are damaged, they can not be repaired. Treatments usually focus on slowing the progression of the disease and preventing complications. Though IgA Nephropathy can not be cured completely, we can delay the progression and expect a good prognosis through effective treatments.

3. Is there any effective treatment for IgA Nephropathy?

The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent or delay chronic renal failure.

The conventional treatment of IgA Nephropathy is pure Western Medicine. The using of hormone, cyclophosphamide and other Western medicine can achieve the effects of anti-inflammatory and anticoagulation in a short time. However, hormone can only relieve patient’s condition temporarily, and it has obvious side effects and is easy to relapse. Because Western Medicine can not achieve the effect of repairing the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and the renal fibrosis progression can not be blocked either, patient’s condition will aggravate as time goes on. When we are affected by some riskyfactors, such as colds, infections, diet, mood and others, IgA Nephropathy will relapse once again. In a word, Western Medicine can not treat IgA Nephropathy fundamentally.

In such cases, we can take into considerationTraditional Chinese Medicine. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is such an effective treatment of IgA Nephropathy. The therapeutic mechanism of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is that it can block the renal fibrosis, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells and rebuild the renal functions. The significant character of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is that it can treat the disease fundamentally. Thus we can delay the progression of the disease.
