Had HSP, IGA Nephropathy, No Cure Available It Seems, Lose Kidney Functions As Growing Older. Treatment?
Hello, my grand daughter who is now 27 was diagnosed with HSP when she was 13. Not being a common desease and after a week stay in hospital no further treatment was ordered or recommended at that time. She has been well mostly eats healthy and exercises everyday. She now has been told that she has kidney desease IGA Nephropathy and that no cure is available. Is that correct. Also was told today that as she grows older she may lose kidney functions. How and what can be done to help avoid this? I am very worried and so is she. She has a 4 year old. Can her child develope this also? Could a cat scratch fever she had when she was about 3 or four have started this process. Already had labs and more have been ordered today.
hi, this is an immune related disorder. even if she got treatment for HSP this sould have developed. it is not that there is no treatment, however may need to take immunosuppressive medication. needs to be in touch with a nephrologist.
