How to Prevent Hematuria in IgA Nephropathy

• Hematuria is the main symptom of IgA Nephropathy. In order to prevent hematuria and prolong the progression of IgA Nephropathy, we should pay attention to the following points:

  1. Spirit aftercare

  When people develop IgA Nephropathy, most of them will feel depressed and pessimistic, which is not conductive to the treatment. Therefore, spirit aftercare is very important for patients. The family members should avoid mental stimulation to the patients. And a quiet environment is helpful for the recovery.

  2. Resting on time and avoiding strenuous exercise

  Patients with IgA Nephropathy should have a good bed rest and do some exercise appropriately. Staying up late, over fatigue and strenuous exercise should be avoided.

  3. Preventing colds and infections

  As the upper respiratory tract infection and tonsillitis can aggravate the patients' condition, patients should prevent colds actively. For those patients whose body condition is poor, some appropriate exercise which can strengthen our body resistance is necessary.

  4. Preventing inflammatory diseases

  Patients should eliminating the risk factors and the precipitating factors actively, such as the upper respiratory tract infection, skin infection, intestinal tract infection, urinary tract infection and fungal infection. And for those who have repeated hematuria induced by tonsillitis, a tonsillectomy is necessary. Once patients have inflammation or infection, an active and timely treatment is necessary.

  5. For those(very few) who experience constant gross hematuria of pure blood, the fish oil or any medication that acts as an anticoagulant(including aspirin) should be avoided, for they can worsen their bleeding.

  6. During episodes of gross hematuria, it is important to drink lots of pure water to prevent the formation of blood clots that can behave much like kidney stones and potentially cause pain.
