I understand your frustration! The truth is, while we can't completely stop CKD progression with IgAN, there are ways to slow it down. Most nephrologists focus on blood pressure control, usually with ACE inhibitors or ARBs, plus lifestyle changes like reducing salt and protein intake. If you haven't discussed these options with your doctor, it's worth asking about them at your next visit. Every patient's situation is unique, and your nephrologist may have specific reasons for their current approach.

Remember to discuss any concerns directly with your healthcare team, as they know your complete medical history and can explain their treatment strategy.
