What are the drugs for IgA nephropathy

summary

A few days ago, grandma would have abdominal pain and low back pain at the beginning. She thought it was diarrhea or cold, but the situation was more and more serious. If she went to the hospital for physical examination, she would find abnormal urine. After the doctor confirmed IgA nephropathy, now let me talk about the drugs for IgA nephropathy.

What are the drugs for IgA nephropathy

First: for patients with hypertension and severe proteinuria, the use of converting enzyme inhibitor can slow down the rate of decline of glomerular filtration rate and reduce proteinuria, so in severe IgA nephropathy, converting enzyme inhibitor is the first choice of antihypertensive drugs. However, it is not clear whether conversion inhibitors are effective in normotensive patients.

Second, recent data suggest that for patients with proteinuria more than 1 g / D, corticosteroids used every other day are beneficial to the improvement of proteinuria. It is possible to relieve proteinuria in patients with minimal change nephropathy with IgA deposition. Combined use of cyclophosphamide, dipyridamole and warfarin can reduce proteinuria, but has no effect on glomerular filtration rate; combined use of cyclosporine A can also reduce proteinuria, but also reduce creatinine clearance rate.

Third, tonsillectomy may be beneficial for patients with recurrent tonsillitis, and antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment may be helpful for patients with acute nephritis syndrome and acute renal failure. A small series of observations showed that fish oil preparation could reduce proteinuria and increase glomerular filtration rate.

matters needing attention

For patients with IgA nephropathy, there are many aspects in life. We need to be careful in choosing medicine, because the kidney is very important to the human body. Once the kidney is lost, the body function will be reduced a lot, and we can't do heavy work. Take medicine also to follow the doctor's advice, not unauthorized medication.
