With the progression of IgA Nephropathy, patients will suffer from more and more symptoms and complications such as infection, back pain, proteinuria, and so on.

However, stomach ulcer is just one common side effect of these medications.

IgA Nephropathy usually progresses chronically that can affect patients' both physical and physiological health easily. Long-term mental nerve, anxiety and emotional fluctuation, all can increase the risk of stomach ulcer.

How to treat IgA Nephropathy and stomach ulcer from the root? Since immune disorder is the root cause, the treatment should begin from removing immune complexes and regulating immune system. In this case, acupuncture, medicated bath, oral Chinese medicines with strong immunological competence, cycle therapy, etc, are helpful treatments to manage stomach ulcer.

When immune system works normally, patients' IgA Nephropathy and stomach ulcer can be alleviated effectively.
