IgA nephropathy is a chronic glomerulonephritis caused by abnormal deposition of immunoglobulin A in the glomerular tunica albuginea area, which is pathologically manifested as tunica albuginea hyperplasia, and deposition of immune complexes in the tunica albuginea area mainly with IgA. The treatment of microscopic hematuria caused by IgA nephropathy includes general treatment, the use of ACEI/ARB drugs, and immune-suppressant treatment.
1. General treatment: assess risk factors, avoid kidney damage factors such as cold, diarrhea, drugs, etc.; low-salt, low-fat, high-quality protein diet, eat less salty food, fatty meat, limit the total amount of protein, mainly eggs, milk, lean meat.
