What Is The Treatment For IgA Nephropathy While Suffering From Bronchitis?

Hi, I am 31 year old female diagnosed with IgA nephropathy 4 years ago. No major symptoms other than microhematuria & mild proteinuria, normal kidney function. My office offers Flu Vaccination this monthReason I m keen to take vaccine as I suffered from Bronchitis 5 times last year (all started from cold & flu). I have been healthy this year and respiratory doctor was ok for me to take the vaccine but I don t know if the vaccine will create more igA anitbodies in me & damage my kidney further.... Thanks.

Hello,

As per literature there is no increase of antibodies after taking parenteral flu vaccine. Flu vaccine doesn't cause further damage to kidneys.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Krishnakanth k.
