Mucosal Immunity of IgA Nephropathy and Treatment from Pharynx / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

IgA nephropathy is a common primary glomerulopathy; the main clinical manifestation is hematuria, with or without proteinuria. However, the pathogenesis associated with mucosal immunity is not completely clear. At present, modern medical treatment delays the progression of IgA nephropathy mainly by controlling blood pressure, reducing proteinuria and delaying renal function failure. The method of combination of disease and syndrome of TCM has received satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of IgA nephropathy. Based on the relationship between mucosal immune and treated from pharynx, this article investigated the occurrence, development and treatment of IgA nephropathy.
