Question
The treatment has been going on for several months, but the effect is still not obvious. The child has been taking hormonal medication. Is there a risk of deterioration?
Answer
Hello, the 7-year-old child has been diagnosed with a kidney disease syndrome, and the kidney biopsy confirmed it as IgA nephropathy. This condition is chronic, and after several months of treatment, the effectiveness remains unclear, which may be due to the child’s insensitivity to hormones. With proper treatment, most cases can be cured and will not worsen. However, this depends on the results of the pathological examination. Generally, mild to moderate mesangial proliferation can be well-healed after treatment. In cases of severe mesangial proliferation, the prognosis is poor, and it may lead to kidney failure and other complications. It is recommended to continue with treatment and follow the local doctor’s treatment guidance. Do not worry or become anxious; the recovery process of the disease takes time. Regular check-ups and monitoring of indicators are necessary.
