Can IgA Nephropathy Recur Post Kidney Transplant
IgA Nephropathy is one autoimmune disorder which is more likely to progress into kidney failure eventually. Then, patients may have to kidney transplant. However, some patients post kidney failure find their creatinine level rises again. Therefore, can IgA Nephropathy recur post kidney transplant?
The unfortunate answer is yes. This is because IgA Nephropathy is caused by abnormal immune system. Even though kidney transplant can replace impaired kidney to work without rejection reaction, it is unable to regulate immune system.
After kidney transplant, excessive amount of IgA can also combine immune complexes and deposit in kidneys again through blood circulation. The buildup of these immune complexes can cause inflammatory reactions that triggers transplanted kidneys easily. That is to say, IgA Nephropathy recurs post kidney transplant.
Until now, the success rate of kidney transplant has been improved largely, but the outcome of kidney transplant for IgA Nephropathy or FSGS patients is still not very good. If you also have IgA Nephropathy and haven’t done kidney transplant, you can try some other alternative treatments.
1. Immunotherapy: This therapy is just created based on the theory of kidney disease caused by immune disorder. Through six steps, this therapy can remove immune complexes, regulate immune system, protect remaining kidney structure and repair damaged kidney cells. Once patients’ kidney function is more than 15% and maintains stable, patients don’t need to wait for the waiting list of kidney transplant any more.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy: This therapy is one combination of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of osmotic devices, the effective ingredients can work on kidney lesions directly. The final goal of this therapy is to rebuild kidney structure.
If you are interested about this therapy or you want to protect your transplanted kidneys, you can ask help from kidney experts at Kidney Service China.
