Why Do IgA Nephropathy Patients Have Frequent Urination

With the progression of IgA Nephropathy, patients are vulnerable to suffering from various symptoms. Frequent urination is just one common sign of chronic kidney disease as well as IgA Nephropathy. Do you know why these kidney patients have frequent urination? If no, follow me to find the answer.

Causes of frequent urination for patients with IgA Nephropathy

Frequent urination usually reveals urinary tract infections, while IgA Nephropathy is more likely to increase the risk of infections. On one hand, IgA Nephropathy is just caused by immune disorder, which gives a chance for bacteria or virus to attack the body. On the other hand, patients may need to take steroids or immunosuppressants to control their illness condition, while these medications will weaken patients’ immune system and then cause infections.

Besides, decline of kidney function can also result in frequent urination especially at night. Normally, kidneys can remove extra fluid at daytime efficiently. However, when kidneys are damaged, they need to continue to work at night, leading to frequent urination at night.

How to treat frequent urination for IgA Nephropathy patients?

If frequent urination is caused by urinary tract infections, patients are recommended to drink more water unless they can’t produce enough urine. Besides, cranberry juice is one good natural home remedy to prevent and treat urinary tract infections. In severe cases, patients should take some antibiotics.

If low kidney function is the reason, it will be much more difficult to deal with it. So far, Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are proven to be effective on treating kidney disease caused by immune disorder. Both of them can prompt the restoration of damaged kidney cells and rebuild patients’ immune system.
