How to Manage Severe Sickness and Diarrhea in IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy usually progresses slowly and causes more and more symptoms and problems. Some IgA Nephropathy patients complain of severe sickness and diarrhea. If uncontrolled timely, diarrhea may make patients feel dehydrated easily. Then, how to manage these two problems for people with IgA Nephropathy?

Firstly, we should know both of severe sickness and diarrhea are finally attributed to diseased kidneys. Normally, healthy kidneys can filter extra fluid and waste products, produce EPO and maintain electrolyte balance. However, when kidneys are attacked by IgA Nephropathy, they will lose their ability gradually. Along with the decline of kidney function, waste products like urea build up in the blood, the body lacks red blood cells and electrolyte balance is disturbed. All of these are direct reasons for patients’ severe illness and diarrhea.

Effective treatments to deal with the above symptoms should depend on the above causes, and the treatment should begin from a healthy diet plan and lifestyle. A low-protein diet can help reduce the formation of metabolic waste products like urea, but more than half of protein intake should be high-quality protein such as fish, lean meat, egg white and milk. To prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea, patients should drink correct amount of fluid and follow a low-sodium diet. What’s more, it is necessary to take in more foods rich in iron to prompt the production of red blood cells.

Along with a correct diet plan, IgA Nephropathy patients are recommended to do exercise regularly which is helpful to control high blood pressure, improve patients’ immune system and strengthen their body. If they have hematuria, they should have more rest in bed.

Lastly, some medical therapies that can help treat diseased kidneys and manage IgA Nephropathy from the root are needed. At present, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is worth a try. It can not only remove deposits of IgA from the body and boost patients’ energy but also rebuild kidney structure and immune system. Once kidneys can work normally, patients’ severe sickness and diarrhea will be managed effectively.
