What aspects does a IgA patient should pay attention in daily life?

IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a kidney disease that occurs when an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA) lodges in your kidneys. This results in local inflammation that, over time, may hamper your kidneys' ability to filter waste, excess water and electrolytes from your blood. Kidney damage may be indicated by blood and protein in your urine, high blood pressure and swollen feet.

IgA nephropathy usually progresses slowly over many years, but the course of the disease in each person is uncertain. Some people leak blood in their urine without developing problems, some eventually achieve complete remission, and others develop end-stage kidney failure.

Regular check on the urine and kidney function to monitor the progress of your disease.

Avoid infection. Most of the IgA patients can get a serious situation after getting infection. If the patients are weak then they need to do some exercise to build up and increase the immune system.

Keep a good mood. Some patients may feel nervous or pessimism after getting a disease which is not good for the recover of the illness. Chatting with friends and friends can keep you in a good mood.

Be careful with the medicine you take. Some medicine is harmful to your health such as pain killers and antibiotic. Some of the medicine can cause acute kidney damage.

Try to control the blood pressure. The high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. Keep a healthy diet.
