Can IgA Nephropathy Take Exercise

Can IgA Nephropathy patients take exercise? Yes, regular exercise can safely reduce the risk of developing conditions that cause kidney disease. And also exercise can even benefit those who are already experiencing compromised kidney function.

How exercise helps your kidneys?

If you have kidney disease and want a way to improve your general health, exercise in your weekly routine can help. Exercise helps kidney disease by improving muscle function, lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, keeping a healthy body weight and improving your sleep.

What kinds of exercise can IgA Nephropathy patients choose?

Aquatic exercise can help improve kidney function by lowering blood pressure and improving blood filtration through the kidneys. Aerobics is the recommended land-based exercise for kidney health. Warm-up before you increase your exercise intensity. Five minutes of walking, cycling or light aerobics prepares your body for more strenuous aerobics or resistance training. After your exercise ends, cool down by walking and doing stretches to prevent soreness and fluid pooling in your extremities.

If you feel very tired, are short of breath, feel chest pain, feel irregular or rapid heart beats, feel sick to your stomach, get leg cramps or feel dizzy or light headed, you should stop your exercise.

Besides, IgA Nephropathy patients should remove immune complexes out and improve renal function. Only in this way can IgA Nephropathy be treated from the root. Here we recommend Immunotherapy which is a combination of western medicines and Chinese medicines. Western medicines aim to control symptoms like hematuria, proteinuria and swelling, etc. Chinese medicines aim to restore injured kidney tissues and improve renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading and removing immune complexes out, providing nutrients and relieve renal ischemia-anoxia state. This can improve patients’ life quality and let patients live a normal life with IgA Nephropathy.
