Treatment for Stage 4 CKD in IgA Nephropathy

IgA nephropathy is featured with deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in mesangial area. It is a progressive kidney disorder. If left untreated, chronic kidney disease (CKD) will result. This article will introduce the treatment for stage 4 CKD in IgA nephropathy.

Stage 4 CKD in IgA nephropathy

IgA nephropathy is an autoimmune disorder. Immune system can protect the body against foreign harmful substances in right condition. However, in autoimmune disorder, the immune system fails to function properly. After the harmful substances are eliminated, the immune response still continues. As a result, extra antibodies will produce. Antibodies will combine with antigens to form immune complexes. With blood circulation, the immune complexes will enter into mesangial area. The immune complexes will cause inflammation in kidneys.

In stage 4 CKD, more than 50% of glomeruli are involved so the kidneys are damaged severely. Meanwhile, a number of complications will appear.

The treatment goals of stage 4 CKD in IgA nephropathy include control IgA nephropathy and improve renal function in stage 4 CKD. However, the conservative treatments only can relieve the symptoms of the disease, but have no point in improving renal function and controlling the root cause of IgA nephropathy.

To treat stage 4 CKD in IgA nephropathy fundamentally, immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy will be applied in the treatment process.

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

In addition, Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy can stimulate the self-rebuilding of kidney tissues and cells. When the kidney structure is restored, stage 4 CKD in IgA nephropathy will be controlled fundamentally.
