Question
How can IGA nephropathy be cured? My child developed the illness in early March, primarily presenting with hematuria, with minimal swelling and slight anemia. They were initially treated at Xuzhou Second Hospital and have now been transferred to Nanjing Military Region Hospital for treatment.
Answer
IGA nephropathy is common among Chinese people, characterized by the deposition of IgA in the glomeruli. The Nephrology Department of Nanjing Military Region General Hospital holds a national reputation and is recommended for treatment. Under current medical standards, the main treatment for IGA nephropathy is the use of corticosteroid hormones. It is suggested to undergo a renal biopsy to determine the kidney pathological type, thereby enabling targeted treatment.
