How can IGA nephritis be controlled in its early stages?
The early control of IGA nephritis is mainly carried out through general treatment, medication, and dietary adjustment. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and undergo targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
1. General Treatment: IGA nephritis is a type of chronic glomerular disease caused by abnormal immune system-induced kidney inflammatory reaction. In daily life, patients should rest adequately, avoid overwork and staying up late to prevent worsening of the condition. At the same time, patients should maintain a good mindset, avoid emotional excitement or tension, and prevent it from affecting the recovery of the disease.
2. Medication: In the early stage of IGA nephritis, patients usually experience symptoms such as hematuria and proteinuria. They can take Compound Cyclophosphamide Tablets and Mycophenolate Mofetil Dispersible Tablets under the guidance of a doctor. If edema symptoms occur, diuretics such as Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets and Furosemide Tablets can be prescribed for relief. In case of hypertension, patients need to take antihypertensive drugs such as Nifedipine Sustained-Release Tablets and Felodipine Sustained-Release Tablets as prescribed.
3. Dietary Adjustment: In daily life, patients should adhere to a low-salt, low-fat diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as chili and garlic. Additionally, patients should avoid high-potassium foods like bananas and oranges. They can also include foods rich in quality protein, such as eggs and milk, to help replenish the body's necessary nutrients. Furthermore, patients need to pay attention to warmth in daily life and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
