Patient's question:
Treated for several months with no significant effect, taking hormone medication as well. Will it worsen?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a 7-year-old child suffers from nephrotic syndrome. Through a kidney biopsy, it was determined to be IgA nephropathy. This disease is a chronic condition. After several months of treatment, the results have not been significant, which may be due to the child's lack of sensitivity to hormones. With proper treatment, most cases of this disease can be cured and will not worsen. However, the prognosis depends on the results of the pathological examination. Generally, mild to moderate mesangial hyperplasia tends to heal well with treatment. If it is severe mesangial hyperplasia, the prognosis is poor, and it is prone to recurrence, potentially leading to kidney failure. It is recommended to continue treatment for the child and follow the guidance of local physicians. Do not be overly anxious or worried, as recovery from this disease also requires time. Regular check-ups should be conducted to monitor changes in indicators.
