Kidney Transplant Hope for IgA Nephropathy | Health and Fitness News
Description
For IgA nephropathy patients, a kidney transplant isn’t just a last resort—it’s a proactive step to dodge dialysis and reclaim your life. When your eGFR dips to 20-25, early evaluation can unlock better outcomes and even living donor options. Success means ditching dialysis, regaining energy (thanks to restored red blood cell hormone production), and enjoying more freedom from strict diets and fluid limits. But it’s not without risks: surgery complications, lifelong immunosuppressants that raise infection and cancer risks, and the potential for IgA to return in the new kidney. Regular check-ups are non-negotiable. The trade-off? A dramatically improved quality of life and longer life—worth every step for many.
