In different cases, IgA Nephropathy affects glomerular filtration function in different degrees. Then, with the onset of IgA Nephropathy, patients usually have hematuria, proteinuria, swelling and other symptoms. To slow down the progression of IgA Nephropathy and manage patients’ proteinuria and swelling, corticosteroids like prednisone are commonly used. However, this medicine has a link with blood sugar metabolism.
Corticosteroids have two types: adrenocortical hormone and sex hormone. The former type is often used to deal with IgA Nephropathy and other types of chronic kidney disease. However, during its working time, it may also cause some side effect. It is proven that corticosteroids can help regulate sugar metabolism through inhibiting the oxidation of sugar, increasing blood sugar, and prompting protein to convert into sugar. Therefore, long-term use of this medicine will increase the risk of diabetes.
From the above analysis, we can know if IgA Nephropathy is on steroid treatment or these patients are tested out high blood sugar, sugar is indeed harmful for them and it is necessary to develop a low-sugar diet plan. Otherwise, extra sugar intake may worsen their illness condition. If patients’ blood sugar is normal and they don’t use steroid therapy to treat their kidney disease, sugar won’t be harmful for them.
iga nephropathy patients should pay attention to the intake of protein, sodium, potassium and phosphorus, and if you want to know more, you message to chinakidneyhospital@gmail.com
