Patient's question:
A good friend of mine, in the past, was diagnosed with purpura. At that time, his family didn't take it seriously, thinking it was an allergy. However, it became increasingly severe, making his condition quite difficult to treat. He has now been diagnosed with purpura nephritis. I would like to ask what the pathological classification is for treating his purpura nephritis.Doctor's answer:
Hematuria and proteinuria in IgA nephropathy are generally classified into three types: marginal hematuria or marginal proteinuria, hematuria and proteinuria, and nephrotic syndrome type. For patients with IgA nephropathy, specific treatment methods need to be selected based on the patient's age, clinical manifestations, and the extent of kidney damage. Additionally, during the course of treatment, the patient also needs to be treated for chronic renal fibrosis, immune-inflammatory conditions, and other symptoms.
