Berger's disease, commonly known as IgA Nephropathy, is featured with IgA
immune complex deposits in the mesangial area of the kidney. IgA is an antibody
made by the immune system to fight off incoming germs or any foreign material to
immobilize and destroy it. In Berger's disease, the immune system mistakenly
identified the kidneys as foreign invaders, and it has attacked them with
antibodies. Once diagnosed with this disease, patients often ask 'Can Berger's
disease go away?'
Whether patients can get rid of Berger's disease can be decided by many
factors, such as the severity of clinical manifestation, choice of treatment
options, loss of renal function, etc. Among these factors, treatment options
play the most important role. According to numerous clinical practices in
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Berger's disease can often go away if you
take prompt and standard treatment in kidney disease specialized hospital.
