Is Western Medicine the Best Treatment for IgA Nephropathy
Nowadays, the most common treatment for IgA nephropathy is Western medicine. Well, is Western medicine the best treatment for this autoimmune disorder?
Firstly, let’s learn how is western medicine applied. Honestly speaking, the procedure can be divided into two parts:
1. Acute stage
★ For people with acute upper respiratory infection, antibiotics free of nephrotoxicity should be used to control upper respiratory infection.
★ If the renal biopsy show cellular crescent nephritis, a large dose of hormones will be suggested by the doctors.
2. Chronic stage
★ If repeated gross hematuria is associated with upper respiratory infection, pharyngitis or tonsillitis, the tonsils may be removed by surgical operation.
★ Relatively speaking, the prognosis of simple hematuria is good. However, it’s still necessary to do regular check-ups. Besides, they should avoid overwork, infections and nephrotoxic drugs.
★ ACE Inhibitors or ARBs are used as first choice for high blood pressure, in addition, they can also help reduce proteinuria and delay the progression of IgA nephropathy.
From the above analysis, we can realize that western medicine can help relieve symptoms effectively. Unfortunately, the underlying cause is still unsolved.
