What is the treatment for proteinuria in iga nephropathy?

IgA nephropathy: Ace-i and arb's have been shown to reduce proteinuria seen in patients with IgA nephropathy. Depending on the levels of creatinine and potassium, they may be given together for an additive response. See, or ask, the treating nephrologist for more information about this treatment of proteinuria.

See below...: Protein in the urine (proteinuria) is a common symptom of IgA nephropathy. If the underlying condition is being treated and is under control, the proteinuria can be minimized. You should be followed by a nephrologist.

See below: You want to get the blood pressure under control. Soemtimes corticosteriods are used to get it under control.

Depends: Fishoil 2-3 grams twice a day has been shown to be effective in slowing renal decline in patients with a creatinine clearance between 30 and 60 ml/min. If your function is better or worse than this range, or you can only tolerate 1g twice a day, the effects are unclear. Blood pressure control, use of ace inhibitors are other mainstays of treatment.

Proteinuria IgAN: Good question. Conventional approach is to commence an ACE Inhibitor and then titrate the dose upward slowly while measuring urine protein. Goal is to reduce proteinuria by at least 50%. Your BP program may require modification. Prednisone is also occasionally used for a flare of IgAN.
