A person with IgA Nephropathy, kidney working 15%, has developed into end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At this advanced stage of kidney disease, the kidneys have lost nearly all their ability to do their job properly. The following is about available treatment for patient with this condition.

1. Renal replacement therapy: Dialysis or kidney transplant.

While dialysis is a life-saving treatment, it can only do 10-15% of the work of a functioning kidney and fails to prevent the decline of renal function. A kidney transplant does not last forever. The average life-span for a transplanted kidney is 10 years for a deceased donor kidney, and about 12 years for a living related transplant.
