It is universally acknowledged that IgA nephropathy is a refractory chronic kidney disease and it has severely threatened our health, therefore we should know the preventive cares for it.

1. Prevention of catching cold. Cold is one risk factor for IgA and each cold will worsen the illness conditions. It can cause recurrence of hematuria and aggravate proteinuria and hematuria and it can even cause renal insufficiency to develop into renal failure, heart failure, etc. On one hand, influenza virus can have direct impact on renal tissues; on the other hand, it can act as antigen and cause immune inflammations in the kidneys. Therefore patients should pay more attention to climate changes, environmental and personal hygiene and prevent catching cold.

2. Moderate and regular exercises. Proper exercises can help build up physical strength and improve disease-resistance ability. What’s more exercises can help increase appetite and enhance immunity. Some mild and gentle activities such as walking, jogging, tai chi are all good choices. Avoid strenuous activities and over-tiredness.

3. Control blood pressure and blood sugar. High blood pressure and high blood sugar can all damage the kidneys and further increase kidneys’ burdens and they are not conducive for the recovery, therefore they should be brought under control first.

4. Medicines that have renal toxicity should be prohibited. Renal toxicity medicines not refer only to western medicines, some Chinese medicines can poison the kidneys if not taken properly or if the dosage is not handled well. Therefore the take of any medicines should be under the physicians’ guidance and permission.

5. Female patients should have more caution before pregnancy such as consultation of nephrologists and close examination of renal functions.

6. Adjust mental attitude. Get rid of negative emotions and have confidence for the recovery.

7. Have at least one time urine test and measuring of blood pressure every year to have close observation of the illness conditions and its progression so as to take timely treatments once there is any worsening sign.
