Dietary Therapy For IgA NephropathyIgA Nephropathy is mainly caused by lots of Immunoglobulin A (IGA) depositing in mesangial area due to recurrent colds and infection. IGA deposits will result in immune inflammatory reaction, which causes damages on glomerular filtration membrane. During medical treatment, dietary therapy is also important. Most patients do not know how to eat with IgA Nephropathy. In this article, I will introduce you dietary therapy for IgA Nephropathy.

1. Protein intake

Protein intake should depend on the severity of kidney function damage in the glomerular nephritis dietary therapy. If the disease is a long course but kidney function damage is not so serious, there is no strict limitation for protein intake. However, protein intake should not be over 1g per kilo of body weight. And high quality protein intake should be above 50%.

2. High calories intake

Since patients have limited protein intake, the calories intake is mainly supplied by carbohydrates and fats. Calories intake should depend on your labor intensity. Adults on rest should consume 126-147KJ/kg of body weight to meet the activity needs.
