Treatment for IgA Nephropathy with Flank Pain and Blood in Urine

IgA nephropathy is an autoimmune disorder with deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in kidneys. As the condition progresses, the patients will experience a large number of symptoms. Flank pain and blood in urine are two common signs of IgA nephropathy.

Flank pain in IgA nephropathy

Flank pain is a common sign of kidney problem, which refers to pain in the upper back. Flank pain in IgA nephropathy is attributed to more than one cause. Firstly, as kidney tissues become scarred, the stretching of renal capsule is one possible cause of flank pain. In addition, urinary tract infection is a common sign due to weak immunity. This condition is also an attributor of flank pain in IgA nephropathy.

Blood in urine in IgA nephropathy

IgA nephropathy is featured with proliferation of mesangial cells. The proliferated cells will impair barrier function of epithelial cells. As a result, a large number of red blood cells will squeeze through glomeruli, ending up in urine. Blood in urine is a typical sign of IgA Nephropathy.

Treatment for IgA nephropathy with flank pain and blood in urine

The conservative treatments for IgA nephropathy are immunosuppressive agents and hormone. However, those medications only can relieve symptoms, but can not stop renal function decline.

To treat IgA nephropathy with flank pain and blood in urine, treatments should be used to correct immune dysfunction and restore impaired kidney structure.

Immunotherapy can correct the immune dysfunction and help the body rebuild a normal immune system. Hence, no more immune damage will form to kidneys.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy can restore the impaired kidney tissues and cells. If the kidneys are restored, they will prevent the leakage of red blood cells, thus controlling blood in urine fundamentally.
