Blood & Protein in Urine Flank Pain with IgA Kidney Disease
IgA Kidney Disease, also known as Berger's disease, is a kidney disorder that develops when IgA - a protein that helps the body ward off infections - settles in the kidneys. Over time, the IgA deposits can cause symptoms such as blood & protein in the urine, flank pain, etc.
Blood in urine (hematuria). This may be the first sign of IgA Nephropathy. The blood may occur during a cold, sore throat, or other infection. In some cases, blood in the urine can only be detected using special tests. With increased amount of blood, the urine look red, usually it is tea- or cola-colored. It may also have a strong smell.
Protein in urine. Proteinuria is usually defined as heavy (>3,000 mg/day), moderate (1,000-2,900 mg/day), and mild (<1,000 mg/day). Many people with IgA Kidney Disease, especially kids, have mild to moderate proteinuria.
Flank pain. Many patients experience bouts of flank pain. This pain can range from a dull ache in the back to debilitating spasms that make walking and rising difficult.
Conventional treatment for IgA Kidney Disease focuses on slowing the disease and relieving symptoms such as blood & protein in urine, flank pain, etc. Medicines including steroids (prednisolone), immunosupressive agents (like mycophenolate mofetil) can be used in treating this disease. These drugs may cause harmful side effects.
Fortunately, alternative natural treatment known as Immunotherapy has shown especially effective in treating IgA Kidney Disease by eliminating the symptoms and stopping the progression of kidney disease. With the treatment of Immunotherapy, the overall kidney function can be restored, and symptoms like blood & protein in urine and flank pain will disappear naturally.
