Since IgA nephropathy is one of the important causes of end-stage renal disease, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular review even if the condition is stable for a long time.
The pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy is not yet fully understood, so clinically, even if the condition of IgA patients is stable at this stage, patients are still advised to pay attention to their diet and lifestyle habits in daily life, and to go to the hospital regularly for reviewing their kidney function, proteinuria level, and blood pressure, etc., so that according to the results, treatments or monitoring can be carried out to slow down the progression of the disease to end-stage renal disease.
The survival rate of IgA nephropathy varies greatly among individuals, some patients have a good prognosis, while some will rapidly enter into irreversible renal failure, which requires patients to regularly observe some indicators that can reflect the changes of IgA nephropathy even if their condition is relatively stable.
For patients with long-term stable IgA nephropathy, if they find cloudy urine or high blood pressure in their life, they should go to the hospital for examination in time for early intervention and treatment.
Even if the condition of IgA Nephropathy patients is stable for a long time, it is still necessary to go to regular hospitals for examination and pay close attention to the changes of renal function, blood pressure and creatinine, and you should consult the professional physician’s opinion.
