A person is diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy and his urine collect showed total protein is 1388. He also suffers from periodic edema, weakness in arms, fatigue and flank pain. What is the treatment for his condition?
IgA Nephropathy is one kind of glomerulonephritis that occurs when IgA builds up in glomerular mesangial area and causes inflammatory reactions. When glomerular mechanical barrier and charge barrier are damaged, protein will leak from kidneys into urine. Therefore, you are found large protein leakage in urine.
When glomeruli can’t do their work normally, fluid and sodium retention occurs. Fluid retention along with protein leakage causes periodic edema easily. As for weakness in arms and fatigue, they may be due to build up of poisonous substances (toxins), anemia or side effects of some medications. After knowing the causes, the second step is to find out correct treatments.
In view of this, the permanent cure means the treatment can remove immune complexes directly rather than inhibit their activity. According to this requirement, patients are suggested to take some therapies to remove these immune complexes and improve patients’ overall health condition.
