                        My loved one has been diagnosed w/ IgA nephropathy.  His kidney biopsy showed "cresentic" cells ?.  One nephrologist said that wasn't good.  His Dr. wanted to start on steroids and anticancer drugs for 2 yrs.  These drugs have bad side effects.  They also make one a poor cadidate for transplant.  Does any one have any suggestions about treatment-ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE/conventional, diet, tonsillectomy etc., please help us.  God bless you  -sandy
