IgA Nephropathy, Kidney Transplant, Decreased Urine Output, Creatinine 6.8

A:

As for your question, I’d like to explain in two aspects:

1. IgA Nephropathy comes back easily after kidney transplant, as it is an autoimmune illness. In IgA Nephropathy, kidney tissues are injured due to persistent inflammatory and this inflammatory is resulted from IgA deposition in mesangial areal. Mostly, patients are prescribed with immunosuppressive agents to block inflammation. This helps to protect residual kidney tissues, but it can not remove IgA deposition away from blood and kidney, so IgA Nephropathy relapses when patients reduce medicine dose or stop taking medicine. In this way, IgA Nephropathy finally progresses to kidney failure.

For IgA Nephropathy patients, their immune disorder is not normalized, so their new kidney also can be damaged after surgery. This is the reason why IgA Nephropathy has a high recurrence rate after surgery.

2. Treatment to protect her current kidney condition

Her creatinine is 6.8 now which is very high. If no effective treatment is given, dialysis or kidney transplant will be required again by your wife. Therefore, so far we need to help her improve kidney condition, so as to get creatinine level lowered down.

Treatment recommended for your wife is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is a herb-based on treatment. In this treatment, different Chinese medicines are used externally. They work differently and show different treatment effects in treating kidney problem. By combining them, treatment effects become more obvious. For your wife, as both dialysis and kidney transplant are not good treatment option for IgA Nephropathy, so she can try Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
