Renal failure describes a medical condition in which kidneys fail to remove toxic products out from our blood. A series of systematic disorders frequently encounter in kidney disturbance, including anomaly in fluid levels, deranged acid levels, elevated level in blood pressure, bone disease or even cardiovascular disorders etc. Say to the worst, IgA Nephropathy has chance to develop into uremia after undergoing a period of renal failure.
In IgA Nephropathy, individual’s pace to renal failure presents various. Here are some statistics for your reference.
30%~40% of patients contributes to renal failure within 10 years.
1%~2% of patients develops uremia in each year.
In primary Glomerulonephritis, IgA Nephropathy accounts for 15%~30% of chronic renal failure.
Normally, IgA Nephropathy tends to Chronic Renal Failure, which is more difficult to control, compared with Acute Renal Failure. Some signals come into being, when it goes toward to renal failure, including discomforts, edema, anemia and high blood pressure etc.
Right treatment benefits to delay renal disease becoming renal failure. By far, IgA Nephropathy hardly has a good prognosis by intervention of conventional treatment, especially by hormone medications only. Such therapy makes you feel better through putting symptoms into invisibility, but your renal function still falls down gradually. As long as your renal functions are improved, IgA Nephropathy can be reversed from renal failure.
Meantime, lifestyle is always associated with the possibility of renal failure. Good life habits will help delaying the process of renal failure. Starting today, you must quit smoking and drinking; change your diet and manage a proper one for yourself; do some mild sports and activities and never make yourself too tired; prevent yourself from cold or any other infectious diseases; if you are not sure whether your lifestyle is ok or not, you might have a talk with your doctors.
