IgA Nephropathy is one primary glomerular disease. If left alone, it will aggravate into kidney failure gradually. To fight against this disease better, patients are suggested to develop a correct exercise plan.
The onset of IgA Nephropathy has an intimate link with immune disorder. To fight against IgA Nephropathy, steroids or immunosuppressants are suggested, but these medicines work through weakening the immune system. Then, patients may have low immune ability. To increase their immune ability, they can take some exercise to boost their immune ability.
To develop a correct exercise, they should consider the following aspects.
- Suspend your exercise plan if you have hematuria or urinary tract infections
- Avoid strenuous exercise to prevent kidney damage or back pain
- Guarantee enough nutrition to prevent malnutrition and anemia
- Do exercise moderately
According to the above requirements, patients can try the following exercise.
1. Walking
Walking is one good exercise for IgA Nephropathy patients. However, if patients want to get obvious benefits from this exercise, they are suggested to do it for at least 30 minutes three times every week.
2. Jogging
Just like walking, jogging can also help improve patients’ immune system, regulate blood pressure and boost patients’ energy. If patients feel boring, they can do this exercise together with other patients.
3. Yoga
It is one aerobic exercise, and patients can do it at home. In order to get benefits from yoga, patients are suggested to do yoga with the professional teacher’s guidance.
