"Seems to be helping my husband's IGAN - much lower protein levels and normal kidney functions, but the side effects are difficult and concerning. He has tendon cramps, fatigue, increased hunger, significant weight gain, and now elevated AST levels. Not sure where to go from here."

"I have been taking Tarpeyo for about 5 months for IgA nephropathy. The most common side effect I have noticed is increased bruising of the skin. I am on blood thinners, but since I began with Tarpeyo, the condition is much more noticeable. I also have a chronic post-nasal drip/cough, which I have never experienced to this extent. I really have no idea if it's working or not. That's up to my doctor and blood tests to show."

"Drug lowered my protein levels without having weight gain. This was something I was concerned about. A side effect I did have, but it's not listed here, was sensitivity to cold beverages for my teeth. I suspected that the drug was the root cause during the nine months I took it. Sure enough, the issue was gone once I was taken off it."
