29F just diagnosed, looking for any support, thoughts, opinions
Using my throwaway, just looking for any insight as this diagnosis feels like I’m getting thrown into the deep end of the pool.
In January I was diagnosed with vasculitis and consistently have had protein/RBC in my urinalysis. Nephro recommended biopsy but thought the wouldn’t find anything due to my levels being pretty stable. Glad I got the biopsy!
- IgA nephropathy, Oxford classification M0, E0, S1, T0, C0
- Minimal interstitial fibrosis
- Mild arterial sclerosis
Was told I have about 5% scarring but my proteins look good, he wants to start me on a medication (forget the name, something new).
I lurked around this reddit for a few days and I’m just looking for people who have been through the same thing as me… really struggling to grapple with this diagnosis, it’s already a lot with the vasculitis diagnosis.
