Notices for Patients with IgA Nephropathy in Daily Life

IgA Nephropathy is a chronic disease. The patients have to fight against with the disease for a long time. If the patients can pay more attention to their daily life, they will be certainly able to slow down the disease progression. Here are some notices for the patients with IgA Nephropathy in their daily life.

1. The patients with IgA Nephropathy should build up the confidence in defeating the disease. IgA Nephropathy develops very slowly and also recurs frequently. Therefore, many patients lose their hope in the treatment of IgA Nephropathy, which is very bad for the recovery of IgA Nephropathy.

2. Once diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy, the patients should have more rest and receive treatment as early as possible in the early period of the disease no matter it is serious or not. Moreover, the patients should follow check-ups regularly. If the edema disappears, blood pressure recovers normal and the renal function keeps normal, they can begin to work 3 months later. At beginning, they should avoid intense labor activities and respiratory tract and urine tract inspections.

3. The patients with IgA Nephropathy should pay more attention to their daily diet. The generally dietary principles for the patients with IgA Nephropathy are as follows:

If the patients with IgA Nephropathy have edema or hypertension, they should limit their salt intake and keep its intake within 2~4 grams. If they do not have obvious edema, they should not limit water intake. If their plasma protein level is low, but they do not have azotemia, the patients with IgA Nephropathy can have proper intake of high quality protein and keep their protein intake within 60~80 grams per day. If they have azotemia, they should limit the protein intake and keep the total protein intake below 40 grams of high quality protein with abundant necessary amino acid. Moreover, their total calorie intake should keep 0.146 KJ/ Kg per body weight and increase the nutrition and vitamin supplement in their diet.
