Dr. Zhao Xinju
For patients with IgA nephropathy and high blood pressure, it is recommended to use antihypertensive medications under a doctor's guidance to control blood pressure. Commonly used drugs include amlodipine besylate tablets, metoprolol tartrate tablets, and furosemide tablets. Additionally, patients should adjust their lifestyle by limiting salt intake, adhering to a low-salt, light diet, maintaining regular sleep patterns, exercising appropriately, and managing body weight.
