Clinical reports suggest that Asian/Pacific Islanders are more likely to be affected by IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and that the severity of disease is increased in these populations. Methods To explore whether these observations are borne out in a multi-ethnic, tertiary care renal pathology practice, we examined clinical and pathologic data on 298 patients with primary glomerular lesions (IgAN, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy and minimal change disease) at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center from November 1994 through May 2001. Pathologic assessment of native kidney biopsies with IgAN was conducted using Haas' classification system.

The disorder can appear as acute , rapidly progressive, or chronic glomerulonephritis ; or as visible or microscopic hematuria blood in the urine IgA nephropathy usually is discovered after one or more episodes of dark or bloody urine in a person with no other symptoms of kidney disorder. Bloody urine may begin during or soon after a respiratory infection. Acute nephritic syndrome or nephrotic syndrome (groups of symptoms associated with decreased kidney functioning) may result. Risk factors include having a personal or family history of IgA nephropathy or Henoch Schonlein purpura (a form of vasculitis IgA nephropathy can occur in persons of all ages, but most often affects males in their teens to late 30s.

Research entire www.onderzoekinformatie.nl site fuzzy match Project: O-glycosylation of IgA1 in IgA nephropathy Print View Titel O-glycosylering van IgA1 bij IgA nefropathie Abstract IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of glomerulonephritis and is characterized by hematuria and deposition of immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) in the mesangium. In IgAN patients part of the serum IgA1 in the hinge region appears to contain O-glycans with a deviating structure. Changes in the O-glycosylation of the hinge region possibly have important consequences because the quaternary structure of the molecule is influenced, which may lead to changes in molecular function. It has indeed been demonstrated that the IgA1 from IgAN patients differs from the normal IgA1, e.g. in its interaction with FcaR1/CD89. Our hypothesis is that the deviating O-glycosylation of IgA1 contributes to the pathogenesis of IgAN. The main aim of this study is to assess the role of the deviating O-glycosylation of IgA1 in IgAN. For sensitive detection and analysis of the deviating O-glycans of IgA1 it is essential to dispose of specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Concrete research aims of this project are: 1. Characterization of existing MAbs, and, as far as needed, development of new MAbs directed against the deviating O-glycans, as observed on IgA1 in IgAN.

Weiter Heim 4th Glomerulonephritis-Workshop: IgA-Nephropathy W. Schoeppe: IgA nephropathy - epidemiology (Nieren Hochdruckkrh 1994 (23) 538 - 540). After Berger's first report on a nosological entity of recurrent hematuria and proteinuria together with mesangial IgA-depositions increasing information exists in the literature to correlate the disease with further etiological, epidemiological and prognostic characteristics. 1.5 to 35 % of patients with renal biopsy show IgA nephropathy reaching peaks in Japan and France compared to low frequencies in Northern America (USA + Canada). Finding of IgA deposits is frequently related to infections of the respiratory tract. Key words: Mesangial IgA deposits - etiological and epidemiological factors. M. Rambausek, A. Schwarzbeck, E. Ritz: Pathophysiology of mesangial IgA glomerulonephritis (Nieren Hochdruckkrh 1994 (23) 541 - 547). In patients with mesangial IgA glomerulonephritis impaired activity of suppressor-inducer T-cells, decreased suppressor T-cell activity and a hyperactivity of T-helper cells is found. This results in increased production of IgA and IgA-immune-complexes. It is suspected that oral tolerance is also disturbed in IgA-nephropathy. The familial occurrence and deviations in allele frequencies of certain HLA-subtypes, complement components and of immunoglobulin genes point to a genetic predisposition for IgA nephropathy. It is presently unknown how IgA immune complexes result in glomerular mesangial damage. Key words: Mesangial IgA glomerulonephritis - Pathophysiology.

IgA nephropathy is a chronic kidney disease that may progress over a period of 10 to 20 years, and can lead to end-stage renal disease. It is caused by deposits of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the glomeruli (filters) within the kidney. These glomeruli normally filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. However, the IgA protein prevents this filtering process. This may lead to the following: blood and protein in the urine swelling in the hands and feet What causes IgA nephropathy? The IgA protein is a normal part of the body's immune system. It is unknown what causes IgA deposits in the glomeruli, however, in more than half of families, IgA nephropathy is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affected, and "dominant" means that only one gene is necessary to have the trait. When a parent has a dominant trait, there is a 50 percent chance that any child they have will also inherit the trait. IgA nephropathy is a very heterogeneous condition, which means that the presentation varies greatly between individuals and families. In fact, some persons who inherit the gene may not have any symptoms, but could pass the gene on to the next generation. Many times men are affected more often than women.

@import url(default.css); Back to Health Library Print This Page Email to a Friend Male urinary system IgA nephropathy (Berger�s disease) Definition: IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder characterized by blood in the urine . It is caused by inflammation of internal kidney structures and the deposit of IgA antibodies in kidney tissue. Alternative Names: Nephropathy - IgA; Berger's disease Causes, incidence, and risk factors: IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a form of mesangial proliferative nephritis. Structures in the kidney called glomeruli become inflamed, and a type of antibody called IgA deposits in the kidney. The disorder can appear as acute , rapidly progressive, or chronic glomerulonephritis , or as visible or microscopic blood in the urine. IgA nephropathy usually is discovered after one or more episodes of dark or bloody urine in a person with no other symptoms of kidney disorder. Bloody urine may begin during or soon after a respiratory infection. Acute nephritic syndrome or nephrotic syndrome (groups of symptoms associated with decreased kidney functioning) may result. Risk factors include having a personal or family history of IgA nephropathy or Henoch Schonlein purpura (a form of vasculitis that affects many parts of the body, and may cause a kidney lesion that is identical to the lesion of Berger's disease).
