Question: Doctor said I have IgA Nephropathy. I do not have foamy urine, but in my test, there is protein in my urine and blood that was seen in microscope, and now my creatinine is going up and GFR is going down. I do not want to go for dialysis. Please help.

Answer: IgA Nephropathy or Berger’s Disease is the most common glomerulonephritis in the world. Its typical symptom is hematuria. Hematuria is the presence of blood in urine, which can be gross or microscopic. And proteinuria may also occur in some cases. On the premise of controlling the disease well, IgA Nephropathy develops slowly to kidney failure. But now your creatinine is going up and GFR is going down. It indicates that your disease is worsening. If you do not want to go for dialysis, you must stabilize it and prevent it worsening.

Considering that IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease, we should set about regulating the abnormal immune system rather than simply controlling symptoms and complications. In Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital, after years of research and clinical practice, we develop Toxin-Removing Treatment, and now it is widely used into kidney disease treatment.

Toxin-Removing Treatment takes advantage of numerous Chinese medicine therapies, such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath, Enema Therapy, Moxibustion, Navel Therapy and so on to expel waste products including IgA immune complexes out of body to reduce kidney inflammation. It can also expand blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into damaged kidneys. With good blood flow, essential elements can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. Besides, it can regulate the abnormal immune system and strengthen immunity to fight against kidney disease. After about one week’s treatment, you will see floccules in urine, which are those wastes and immune complexes being passed out. After about half month’s treatment, proteinuria and blood urine will decrease. Creatinine level will go down. With treatment going on, proteinuria and blood urine will turn negative, creatinine level will decrease further, and GFR will increase. As a result, you can keep dialysis away.

It is possible to avoid dialysis for IgA Nephropathy patients, but you should find out a suitable treatment. Now you can send a copy of your medical test report to renal-disease@hotmail.com. We can help you analyze it and then give you personalized guidance.
