IgA nephropathy usually does not heal by itself.
IgA nephropathy refers to chronic glomerulonephritis caused by abnormal deposition of immunoglobulin A in the glomerular mesangial area, which pathologically manifests as mesangial hyperplasia and deposition of IgA-based immune complexes in the mesangial area, and its pathogenesis is related to immunity, genetics and other factors, and it usually will not be cured on its own, and needs timely treatment.
Patients with IgA nephropathy who are not treated in time may suffer from various complications such as chronic renal failure, which seriously reduces the quality of life of the patients.The treatment of IgA nephropathy includes disease evaluation, non-immunosuppressive therapy (valsartan, captopril, etc.), glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone, methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, etc.).
Patients with IgA nephropathy should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of professional physicians. The medication should be used according to the doctor’s prescription, do not self-medicate.
