Question: Hi, I have IgA Nephropathy. I just start taking steroids for a week. Please advise if there is any alternative to replace steroids.

Answer: Hi, glad to help you. IgA Nephropathy is closely associated with the abnormal immune system, so steroids are often used to suppress renal inflammation and halt the progression of the disease, but they have a variety of side effects in the long run, which may make the disadvantages outweigh advantages. That is why more and more patients choose alternative treatment.

To bring IgA Nephropathy under control, you need to do the following things.

-To regulate the abnormal immune system so as to prevent the over production of IgA immune complexes.

-To eliminate the excessive IgA immune complexes from the blood and dissolve the deposited IgA immune complexes on kidneys so as to reduce renal inflammation from the root.

-To suppress renal inflammation timely to prevent further kidney damage.

Alternative Treatment for IgA Nephropathy patients to replace steroids

Here it is recommended to try Toxin-Removing Treatment, also known as Detoxification Therapy. This is a systemic treatment, which is made up of several therapies, such as Medicated Bath, Foot Bath, Enema Therapy, Steam Therapy, etc.

Those therapies can work together to eliminate waste products including IgA immune complexes from the blood. After about one week’s treatment, you will see a large amount of floccules in urine, which are those substances being passed out. They can also dissolve IgA immune complexes and restore the balance of anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines to reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse. Moreover, they can improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so as to provide the nidus with enough essential elements, such as oxygen, nutrients and active ingredients of medicine can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery.

After a short period of treatment, symptoms such as swelling, blood urine, proteinuria, weakness, high blood pressure and so on will be relieved greatly, or even become normal. After a long period of treatment, IgA Nephropathy will be under control, and renal function will get improved.

The above alternative treatment can replace steroids for IgA Nephropathy patients, but it is not available all over the world.
