Can I Get Off Of Dialysis with IgA Nephropathy Stage 5
Stage 5 IgA Nephropathy is so severe that most patients need to take some therapies to prolong their life expectancy and improve their life quality. Dialysis is one common treatment option. Can patients with IgA Nephropathy Stage 5 get off of dialysis?
Dialysis for Stage 5 IgA Nephropathy
In stage 5, kidneys nearly lose all of their ability to filter blood. Too many harmful substances depositing in the blood or internal body disorders may even cause death. Dialysis is one treatment that can replace damaged kidneys to filter blood and eliminate waste chemicals and toxins from the body. However, it isn't one easy treatment for IgA Nephropathy patients, because it may cause some side effects or complications easily.
Is there alternative therapy to dialysis for these IgA Nephropathy patients?
Fortunately, the answer is yes.
As we know, kidney transplant is one effective therapy for end stage kidney disease. However, because IgA Nephropathy is caused by immune complexes, the abnormal immune system may cause IgA Nephropathy to appear in the transplanted kidney again. That is to say, IgA Nephropathy may attack the new kidney, and patients may suffer from stage 5 kidney disease.
In addition to kidney transplant, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Clear Blood Pollution Therapy may also help patients with Stage 5 IgA Nephropathy to get off of dialysis. Although they use different methods and are based on different theories, both of these two therapies focus on removing immune complexes, rebuilding kidney filtering structure and repairing damaged kidney cells. Only if kidneys can do their work by themselves, can patients live without dialysis successfully.
