The Treatment for IgA Nephropathy in China

IgA Nephropathy is common symptom of glomerular disease. If you want to know more details about the natural treatment, you can talk it with our online doctor.
IgA nephropathy is a form of glomerular disease that results when immunoglobulin A (IgA) forms deposits in the glomeruli, where it creates inflammation. IgA nephropathy was not recognized as a cause of glomerular disease until the late 1960s, when sophisticated biopsy techniques were developed that could identify IgA deposits in kidney tissue.

The most common symptom of IgA nephropathy is blood in the urine, but it is often a silent disease that may go undetected for many years. The silent nature of the disease makes it difficult to determine how many people are in the early stages of IgA nephropathy, when specific medical tests are the only way to detect it. This disease is estimated to be the most common cause of primary glomerulonephritis—that is, glomerular disease not caused by a systemic disease like lupus or diabetes mellitus. It appears to affect men more than women. Although IgA nephropathy is found in all age groups, young people rarely display signs of kidney failure because the disease usually takes several years to progress to the stage where it causes detectable complications.

No treatment is recommended for early or mild cases of IgA nephropathy when the patient has normal blood pressure and less than 1 gram of protein in a 24-hour urine output. When proteinuria exceeds 1 gram/day, treatment is aimed at protecting kidney function by reducing proteinuria and controlling blood pressure. Blood pressure medicines—angiotensin—converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)—that block a hormone called angiotensin are most effective at achieving those two goals simultaneously.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a therapy used externally, the main materials in this therapy can penetrate into kidney lesions directly due to the external effects.

The Common Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy

Having a better understanding of the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy will contribute a lot to the treatment of IgA Nephropathy.

As one of the most common glomerulonephritis, IgA Nephropathy is considered to be an immune-complex mediated disorder. IgA Nephropathy refers to deposition of IgA Nephropathy (mainly) and other immune complex in mesangial area. IgA Nephropathy is not a simple disease for it has various manifestations and does not have fixed features in histology. According to Chinese medicine, if patients find the disease early, that is, they are clear about the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy, it is not difficult for them to treat the disease. So, what are the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy?

1. Gross hematuria

There are 30% to 50% patients with IgA Nephropathy, their urine usually appears to be brown or water after where flesh is washed, and blood clot is rarely seen. Gross hematuria usually occur after tired work, caching a cold, vaccination, pneumonia and so on. This symptom will last for several hours to one week and it will disappear naturally.

2. Proteinuria

Proteinuria is common to patients with IgA Nephropathy. Glomerulus blood capillary has good permeability on water and electrolyte, but big molecular protein can not permeate it. However, if the glomerulus have been damaged, the protein will leak out. then you will find protein urine. So, if you find there are bubbles in urine, it is necessary for you to take a urine test. Generally, most patients are diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy by the proteinuria.

3. High blood pressure

Being similar with patients with other kidney disease, patients with IgA Nephropathy always have high blood pressure. With the aggravation of IgA Nephropathy, patients without high blood pressure may have problem with blood pressure. It is necessary for them to take medicines for blood pressure.

4. Swelling

Due to the IgA Nephropathy, some patients may have swelling which is caused by imbalance of sodium and water. For the treatment of swelling, diuretics are usually suggested. In addition, patients with IgA Nephropathy should pay attention to restraining their dink water.

The above are the common symptoms of IgA Nephropathy, of course, to different patent, there are different symptoms. To sum up, it is good for us, especially people with middle age to take regular physical tests so that we can find disease early, then treat early. If you have any discomfort, you can our online experts, they will be glad to help you.

Is Kidney Transplant Good for IgA Nephropathy Patients

If people are attacked by IgA Nephropathy, is the kidney transplant the last choice for a longer and healthy life for patients. In western medicine, the kidney disease is can not be cured and patients only can take medicines or dialysis to control the symptoms and delaying the development of the disease, waiting for kidney transplant. Whether there is another option for IgA Nephropahty patients?

IgA nephropathy is a kind of immune disease, which is caused by high concentration of IgA1 due to infection. And this IgA1 can be recognized as antigen by human body and duly lead to immune responses. As a result, antigen and antibody from human body can generate antigen-antibody immune complex. Because receptor and binding protein in glomerular mesangial cells have an affinity for IgA1 and due to special kidney structure, the immune complex deposits inside the kidneys and cause damage to the intrinsic kidney cells. Without proper treatment to protect the kidney functional cells from further damage, with time going by, the kidney function declines till renal failure.

Although patients with IgA nephropathy have the same disease, they also should be treated with different therapies and have different prognosis according to different pathological changes inside the kidneys. And most of the cases have a good prognosis if treated properly. However, there are also some cases which advance to final stage of kidney disease. So, is it good for IgA nephropathy patients to do kidney transplant? And if not, is there any other option for those patients?

From the mechanism of this disease, we can know that this is an immune disease. And as long as patients have high concentration of IgA1 arising from infection, the immune complex can deposit inside the kidneys which further leads to damage to the kidneys. So, if there is any conservative treatment which can prevent immune complex from damaging the kidneys, also strengthening immunity so as to avoid infection, that will help patients prevent relapse of IgA nephropathy and protect the kidneys from being damaged.


Our hospital is famous for the Traditional Chinese medicine treatment which have save the kidney functions and reverse the kidney functions of many IgA Nephroapthy patients.

Could I get pregnant if I have IgA nephropathy

IgA nephropathy is caused by the deposition of IgA and it is a kind of immune system disease. When people are attacked by the disease, they usually suffer a lot of symptoms, such as edema, blood urine, protein urine and so on. Patients need take many drugs to remit these symptoms. But for a women patients who want to have a baby, these drugs will hurt the baby.Then wehter IgA Nephropathy patients can get pregnant?

The specialists point out that the IgA nephropathy is not hereditary, but the descendants of the IgA Nephropathy are at high risk of developing the disease based on the many a great number of clinical data. So, the good news for Catherine and other mother patients that they can get pregnant but on the other side, it doesn’t mean that whenever they get pregnant is ok. They are suggested to conceive when the disease condition gets under control. So what’s the best time for the mother patients to conceive?

The experts suggest that the patients whose routine urine test results return to normal and about 1 year since they stop taking medicines are permitted to be pregnant. In other words, their protein in the urine or occult blood become negative as well as the number of the red cells is less than 10 under the microscope, in addition to their normal blood pressure and renal function. What’s more, they’d better suspend the use of medicines such as steroid, cyclophosphamide, and some immunosuppressant and so on for approximate one year.
If you happened to have the IgA nephropathy, you desire to have a baby as Catherine and other mother patients, and then you are suggested to make the decision after consult your doctors or our experts online. Without the permission of them, you’d better not conceive.

As it steps into the 32 weeks of the pregnancy, the mother patients should do urinary routine tests, blood pressure tests at least once per week. If the mother patients’ condition gets worse, they are suggested to stop the pregnancy or get the baby through abdominal delivery.


All in all, IgA Nephropathy patients who want to have a baby must make a good preparation. And if you want to know more information or suggestion for kidney disease patients getting pregnant, you can contact our online doctors, leave us messages or send email to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, we will reply you as soon as possible.

The health life style of IgA Nephropathy

Except the effective treatment, IgA Nephropathy should keep a health life style. And then what is the life style of IgA Nephropathy?

If you are diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, besides receiving treatment, you are suggested to cultivate healthy lifestyle. It plays a crucial role in slowing the progression of the disorder as well as alleviating the clinical manifestations. Here the suggestions listed as follows:

Is Kidney Transplant Useful for IgA Nephropathy

Is kidney transplant useful for IGA Nephropathy? This article will explain it in details.

IgA nephropathy is a kind of kidney disease pertains to glomerulonephritis, which can easily lead to ESRD, then patients have to receive kidney transplantation.
However, it is common to see that the IgA nephropathy recurrence in the patient after kidney transplantation. IgA nephropathy is not a kidney problem, but a immune system problem, to put it simply, it is a disease resulting from gene. So that even after kidney transplant, IgA nephropathy may come back again.

According to the statistics, after kidney transplantation, the recurrence rate of IgA nephropathy is 13%~50%, clinical manifestations is the same as original symptoms, includes hematuresis, proteinuria and progressive renal function decline. In the beginning phase, the course of disease is benign, but long-term follow-up data show that there are 1.3%~16% of patients’ donor kidney have lost efficacy due to IgA nephropathy recurrence. Recently, a large-sample study shows that in ten years after kidney transplantation, the rate of donor kidney lost efficacy due to IgA nephropathy is about 9.7%.

At present, there is no effective prevention and treatment measures for the recurrence of IgA nephropathy. Some people pin their hope on currently available immunosuppressive drugs, but there were no signs of the drugs can prevent IgA nephropathy recurrence.

Thus it can be seen that kidney transplantation is not a foolproof method to treat IgA nephropathy, in this case, what should patients do to deal with IgA nephropathy?


Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a put forward by many renal experts in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. It is external application, this therapy can help patients to expend blood vessels and improve the blood circulation, so as to eliminate the immune complexes more completely. With this application, more and more kidney function will be improved. and avoid kidney transplant.

The Latest Treatment for IgA Nephropathy with High Creatinne Level

IgA Nephropathy is a kind of immune disorder, which causes patients to worry about the problem that is there any treatment can help them to treat IgA Nephroapthy?

IgA nephropathy, also called Berger’s Disease, is an auto-immune disease. It usually happens some time after patients catch cold or get infected. And studies suggest that it occurs due to immune disorder. Finding proper treatment to prevent and treat the disease attracts most patient and their family’s attention. And TCM is said to be effective in treating this disease. Here we will explain how does TCM work in IgA nephropathy-autoimmune disease.
First, prevent and reduce the possibility of IgA nephropathy, improve patient’s resistance.

Effective substances can improve patient’s resistance, prevent and reduce the possibility of IgA nephropathy through the following three aspects:
1. The effective substances can increase the lysosome level by improving lymphocytes’ transformation rate and absorption of IL-2; Increase the activity of patient’s natural killer cells; Improve patient’s cellular immunity; Improve antibody’s lethality to pathogens, duly protecting patient’s kidney from immune damage.
2. It can activate generation of IgG and IgM in patient’s body, improve synthesization of IgM and IgG antibody, strengthening patient’s humoral immunity; inhibit generation of abnormal IgA antibody, duly reducing and blocking the immune damage to kidneys due to immune responses induced by abnormal IgA antibody.

3. It can also improve IgA nephropathy patient’s non specific resistance by activating phagocyte’s phagocytosis in patient’s body, speed up phagocytosis of immune complex, duly laying solid foundation for repairing the damaged IgA nephropathy patient’s kidney cells.

Second, it can inhibit further kidney damage by immune responses; the effective substances, after entering into patient’s body, controls proteinuria resulting from immune responses through the following four aspects:

1. The effective substances, after entering patient’s body, first activate the NOS of glomerular endothelial cells, speed up generation of NO, as well as the GC-PK, duly recovering the function of damaged endothelial cell in glomerular capillaries; Inhibit synthesization and secretion of ET-1, further improving the micro-circulation inside the glomeruli, dilating blood vessels, stabilizing blood pressure, increasing blood and oxygen supply, which provides good environment for repairing the damaged kidneys.

2. The effective substances, by improving ischemia and anoxia inside the kidneys, further prevent further damage to endothelial cells in capillaries; inhibit more synthesization of inflammatory factors, cell factors, growth factors, etc. At the same time, it can also inactivate the toxicity; improve absorption of IL-2, prevent IL-2 from further damaging charge barrier, duly reducing proteinuria.

3. It can also recover endothelial cells’ anti-coagulation function resulting from inflammatory responses by inhibiting activation of platelet function. As far as platelet’s coagulation function is not activated, platelet can not be able to secrete clotting factors like PDGF, TXA2, 5-HT, platelet IV factors, ADP, etc. So, there will not be micro-thrombus, and blood circulation inside glomeruli will not be blocked, and there will not be proteinuria.

4. At the same time, the effective substances can also inhibit inflammation induced by immune complex, which further reduce the generation of free radical, duly prevent lipid peroxidation;

Third, the effective substances can block renal fibrosis, relieving and delaying renal damage. As above mentioned that the effective substances can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation inside the kidneys, fight against coagulation and inflammation, degrade extracellular matrix, duly recovering the normal function of damaged kidney functional cells and improving kidney function.

The Natural treatment for IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy is a relatively common kidney disease. It affects millions of people worldwide. It is a disease that affects the filters, or glomeruli, of the kidneys. IgA is characterized by the hematuria it causes, which just means blood in the urine. This blood may be visible to the naked eye or only seen under a microscope. Over time this disease can damage the kidney’s ability to clean the blood properly. Most people with this disease lose kidney function very slowly, or not at all.

IgA Nephropathy is named for the deposits of IgA that can be seen stuck in the kidney filters when viewed under a microscope. IgA is an immunoglobulin- a normal component of a healthy immune system. These components normally attach themselves to infection in the body and trigger the immune response. This works to eliminate the infection. In this disease, a defective form of IgA gets bound to another IgA molecule instead of an infection. This forms an immune complex. This immune complex can become stuck in the kidney. Here it activates the immune system just like it would if it were fighting off infection. The immune system activation causes swelling and damage to the kidney itself. This disease may be suspected from certain symptoms (see below). However, a diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy requires a kidney biopsy. The sample of kidney can then be viewed under a microscope and the diagnosis confirmed.

This disease is common, but there is no single treatment about which all doctors agree. This is in part because of the disease tends to progress very slowly, if at all. Many of the drugs that could be used in treatment can be very harmful.
It is generally accepted that blood pressure control and limiting the amount of protein in the urine are of primary importance. Both of these goals can often be accomplished with the use of two types of blood pressure medications. ACE-inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) both help to reduce blood pressure. Another commonly used agent is Fish Oil. Studies do not agree on its true benefit. However, its lack of serious side-effects leads many doctors to recommend it.

This disease is essentially an over-activation of the immune system. Therefore, many immunosuppressive drugs have been tried with varying success. The most widely used are steroids, given either through a needle, by mouth, or both for at least 6 months.

IgA often progresses slowly. Doctors may simply follow some patients with normal renal function and minimal protein in the urine without starting any therapy at all. It is the disease’s generally slow progression that has made it difficult for doctors to decide on the one “best” treatment.
