The control time of IgA chronic nephritis stage II is related to the degree of the disease, the patient’s living habits, risk factors control and other factors, there are individual differences, not generalized. If the patient’s urinary protein and blood pressure are well controlled and the patient’s life habits are good, it is possible to control the disease without further development.
Stage II IgA nephropathy belongs to the category of less severe pathology, if the patient’s blood pressure is normal, the urine protein is controlled below 500 mg or even below 150 mg, and the patient pays attention to not overwork, avoiding colds, pharyngitis and other illnesses, then it is more likely to control the disease not to continue to progress.
If the patient has a large amount of urinary protein, after glucocorticoid such as prednisone or other immunosuppressant such as tacrolimus treatment effect is poor, may not be able to control the lifetime without progression, such patients will gradually decline in renal function, and will be gradually progressed to uremia in a few years to decades.
If patients are diagnosed with IgA chronic nephritis, they should have regular checkups in the hospital, control the risk factors such as blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, etc., avoid colds and pharyngitis, pay attention to the diet, and take active treatment for other discomforts in order to avoid the progression of the disease.
