Suggest Treatment Course For Patients With IgAN
I have IgAN and have been on 60 mg/day of Prednisone for 6 weeks, then have been tapering off, am now down to 20 mg every other day and go down to 10 mg next week. I have been on Prednisone since the first of Nov., 2013. I still am spilling around 3 g protein, function is around 47, creatine 1.25, also have CKD stage III, and FSGS. What would next course of treatment likely be?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, clinical symptoms would be more of importance and not the test result IgAn may remains as it is without any clinical symptoms it does not mean that such condition need to be treated once you finish the course of steroid then it is okay, hope this information helps.
