Both potassium and sodium are vital electrolytes that your kidneys help regulate. For IgAN patients:

* Sodium: Lower is usually better as high sodium can raise blood pressure and worsen kidney damage
* Potassium: Needs careful monitoring - too high or too low can be dangerous
* Work with your doctor to keep both in normal range
* Your doctor will tell you your specific target ranges as they vary by person

Always discuss your specific blood test results with your healthcare provider, as they can interpret what's normal for your situation.
