What Are the Early Treatment Options for IGA Nephropathy?

The early treatment of IGA nephritis mainly includes general treatment, medication, and surgical treatment, which requires comprehensive consideration based on the severity of the patient's condition. Here are the details:

1. General Treatment:

If the patient's condition is relatively minor, without obvious discomfort or affecting normal life, they should pay attention to resting more and avoiding excessive fatigue. At the same time, they should also maintain a healthy diet, consume light foods, and eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi and oranges, to supplement the body's nutritional needs.

2. Medication:

If the patient's condition is severe and there is edema, they can take diuretic medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets or furosemide tablets. If there is an infection, antibiotics can be used as adjunctive treatment, such as amoxicillin capsules or cefixime granules.

3. Surgical Treatment:

If the patient's condition is severe and cannot be improved through the above methods, and there is even kidney failure, they should promptly seek dialysis treatment at a hospital. If necessary, kidney transplantation may be required. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy can be used for auxiliary relief. Regular hospital check-ups are recommended in daily life to understand the patient's recovery status.
