Patient's question:
What foods should patients with IgA nephropathy avoid? What dietary habits should patients with IgA nephropathy pay attention to? How long does it take to cure it?Doctor's answer:
Hello! IgA nephropathy is a special type of glomerulonephritis, commonly occurring in children and young adults. It is often preceded by an upper respiratory infection. The pathological features include mesangial proliferation, and immunofluorescence examination can reveal IgA deposition in the mesangial area.Advice: The specific duration of treatment depends on the chosen treatment plan, the progression of the condition, and the patient's overall physical health. In daily dietary management, vegetable oils should be prioritized, while animal fats should be consumed in moderation. When eating meat, lean meat should be chosen to supplement high-quality low-protein diets, and fatty meats should be avoided. In short, patients with kidney disease should avoid such "meat foods" as they can worsen kidney damage. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
