Promises of improved kidney function?

My diagnosis is fresh @ 2 weeks and classified as “atypical Igan” after 4 months of wild goose chase . Now, We have a good dietician , Nephro and acupuncturist. Currently the acupuncturist researching on good iga immunological papers and accupunture and its meridian points. I am trying find good references or have her speak to fellow practioners to affirm her approach. She has had cases that improve proteinuria but has not seen igan patients.
Any pointers in that space would be helpful.
@sarah82 . It’s quite interesting to experience the mind body connection with regards to BP. Trying to figure out how much moods affect the BP vs renin mechanism , is going to be a life long pursuit.
On a positive note It’s spring in northeast 😊

You have a very rare kidney disease as I have researched. I like holistic medicine and see an accupuncturist weekly, but I think your best bet is to have a plan with a nephrologist, one who specializes in igan disease. Why not get a 2nd opinion from the Mayo Clinic or similar source using a video conference with a qualified nephrologist. Getting to the bottom of this rare disease is more suited for a nephrologist than holistic approach or acupuncturist, in my opinion.
