Question
What dietary habits should IgA nephritis patients pay attention to? How long does it take to recover?
Answer
Hello! IgA nephritis is a special type of glomerulonephritis that commonly occurs in children and adolescents. It often precedes upper respiratory infections, and its pathological feature is the proliferation of glomerular mesangium, with IgA deposits visible in the mesangial area under immunofluorescence examination. The specific recovery time needs to be determined based on the treatment plan adopted, the progression of the disease, and individual physical condition. In terms of daily dietary management, it is recommended to use vegetable oil as the main choice, minimize the intake of animal oil; when consuming meat, opt for lean meat to supplement high-quality low-protein food, and avoid eating fatty meat. In short, kidney disease patients should avoid eating this kind of “meat.” Because meat can worsen kidney damage. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
