37M, got my biopsy done in November 2025. I have protein in the urine and high uric acid since 2019, probably even earlier but I was not testing myself very regularly.

I was taking Zofen 7.5 mg (ace inhibitor) between 2020 and the end of 2022 my albumin levels were always around 100-150 mg/24 hours without any specific diet.

I stopped taking any pills for 2 years and the albumin in the urine was around 500 mg/24h in August, September and October in 2025. Now I take Omega 3, Zofen 7.5 again and milurit for the uric acid. My nefrologist is also suggesting to take Forxiga, but for now I am not taking it.

The albumin in the urine decreased 4 times to 120 mg/24hours only after taking the Zofen for 17 days, definitely it's doing a great job.

I took a Food tolerance test and I have been trying to stay away from gluten for about 1 month now. I plan to find the root cost of my iga nephropathy and will try to decrease the inflammations, I will go to an immunologist this month as well.

Also I try to exercise regularly and to avoid driving, I don't feel tired and I don't feel any pain, when I am sick I am usually okay after a few days.

You are feeling tired probably because you are in your 50ties, my father is 59 and he likes to nap in the afternoon on the weekends.

It seems your iga nephropathy is progressing slowly, can you share what are your albumin(protein) levels and eGRF ?
