Treatment for IgA Nephropathy Without Immunosuppressive Agents

IgA Nephropathy is a world-wide disease and usually treated with immunosuppressive agents. However, with the occurrence of Immunotherapy, a natural medical treatment for immune diseases, immunosuppressive agents are not as dominant as they were in the past.
IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease, which shows when large amounts of IgA immune complexes or other substances lodge in the mesangial area. These deposition induce inflammatory immune reaction and therefore cause kidney damages.
For treatment of immunosuppressive agents, it treats IgA Nephropathy through inhabiting inflammatory immune response. Inflammatory immune response damage renal tissues directly, so further kidney damages are prevented when immune response is blocked. However, the problem is that IgA immune complexes are not removed from mesangial area, which can lead to the reoccurrence of inflammatory immune response. Thereby, immunosuppressive agent is a method to treat IgA Nephropathy, but it is not the best and fundamental treatment.
Different from immunosuppressive agents, treatment of Immunotherapy focuses on removing immune complexes from the kidney. As long as these immune complexes are cleared away effectively, inflammatory immune response stop naturally and consequently, further kidney damages are avoided. Therefore, seeing from this aspect, treatment of Immunotherapy is more suitable and effective than immunosuppressive agents in treating IgA Nephropathy.
Also, people with IgA Nephropathy tend to control or remit their symptoms by taking some oral medicines. Actually, symptoms of IgA Nephropathy like blood urine occur just because kidneys are damaged and fail to work. So controlling symptoms is far from enough for patients to recover. If they really want to be free from IgA Nephropathy, the best and only treatment is to regulate their immune system and thus stop more IgA immune complexes from being produced in the body.
