Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Nephrology IgA NEPHROPATHY IgA nephropathy or Berger's disease is a clinical/pathological entity defined by the presence of macroscopic or microscopic hematuria and mesangial IgA deposits. The disease is found throughout the world but is most prevalent in Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Southern Europe. In the U.S. the incidence is approximately 4% of all renal biopsies but may be as high as 45% of biopsies in Japan. It is not a benign illness as once believed, with up to 25% of patients ultimately developing renal failure. The pathogenesis of the disease remains unknown. Findings on renal biopsy are characteristic. In all patients, IgA is present and is deposited mainly in the mesangium of the glomerular tuft. Other immunoglobulins and complement, especially C3, are often found in a mesangial pattern. Light microscopy frequently reveals a focal lesion, present in some but not all glomeruli. Electron microscopy will show a nodular electron dense deposit in either a subepithelial or subendothelial pattern. In large series of IgA nephropathy in children, end stage renal disease occurs in 5- 10%. Some clinical features have been correlated with a more rapid decline in renal function. These include male sex, older age at onset, absence of recurrent gross hematuria as a presenting complaint, and hypertension at the time of biopsy. In addition the histologic picture on renal biopsy correlates with outcome. Minimal glomerular abnormalities, pure mesangial proliferation, and focal or segmental change are associated with little change in renal function. Proliferative glomerulonephritis and crescents are associated with the high likelihood of progressive renal disease.

Z Contents of this page: Male urinary system Alternative names Return to top Nephropathy - IgA; Berger's disease Definition Return to top 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. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/iganephropathy/

Extractions: Glomerular Diseases Home : IgA Nephropathy IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder caused by deposits of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the glomeruli (filters) within the kidney. These glomeruli (the singular form is glomerulus ) normally filter wastes and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. The IgA protein prevents this filtering process, leading to blood and protein in the urine and swelling in the hands and feet. This chronic kidney disease may progress over a period of 10 to 20 years. If this disorder leads to end-stage renal disease, the patient must go on dialysis or receive a kidney transplant. The IgA protein, an antibody, is a normal part of the body's immune system, the system that protects against disease. We do not know what causes IgA deposits in the glomeruli. But, since IgA nephropathy may run in families, genetic factors probably contribute to the disease. Kidney disease usually cannot be cured. Once the tiny filtering units are damaged, they cannot be repaired. Treatment focuses on slowing the progression of the disease and preventing complications. One complication is high blood pressure, which further damages glomeruli. A class of medicines called ACE inhibitors protects kidney function not only by lowering blood pressure but also by reducing the loss of protein into the urine.
IGA Nephropathy, The Transplant
A personal story of Darryl who had this disease. From the beginning, to the diagnosis, the kidney transplant and the update.
http://www.geocities.com/albertja_48446

Extractions: The Parents After blood labs, ultra sound, and a kidney biopsy, our son was diagnosed with a kidney disease, IGA Nephropathy, March 1998. The nephrologist told us that our son had 48% kidney function. During this revelation, his creatinine was 2.1. Any creatinine level above 1.5 is possibly a kidney problem. Then, he was 22 years old. My husband, Darryl, and I sat there stunned. Usually, IGA is caused by some kind of respiratory infection. Our son did not have any kind of respiratory onset; although, in 1996 and 1997, Michigan State University had a meningitis epidemic. The doctor started him on prednisone and blood pressure medicine to maintain his kidneys and his high blood pressure. After six weeks, the nephrologist made us all an appointment with the Nephrology Department at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our son's girlfriend, Eileen, went with us, too. She and her family were great supporters.

Extractions: Well, it's not like there's a shortage of information on the web. In fact, there is information overload. However, there is a shortage of complete, organized, concise, realistic and up-to-date information specifically from the patient's point of view. More importantly, people who are diagnosed with serious, chronic disease usually go through a well-known process of dealing with loss. In this case, it's the loss of our expectation of good health, and this process can be readily described using the 5 stages of acceptance road map if you will, of describing the process we go through when we are diagnosed with IgAN. The 5 stages of acceptance are generally described as: denial bargaining anger despair (or depression) , and finally, acceptance . You are almost surely somewhere on that road to acceptance, and you may well be stuck at one of the stages. This is very common. For that reason, a separate section has been reserved on the website to look at these stages in more detail.

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed IgA nephropathy, first descibed in 1968, is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis in the world. It is an antibody-mediated glomerular disease in which the immune deposits localize to the mesangium. It is not certain whether the deposits form in situ or from circulating immune complexes. Patients with IgA nephropathy usually present with one of three syndromes: A less common presentation is with the nephrotic syndrome. These patients may have advanced disease or normal renal function. In the latter case, the light microscopic features are of minimal change disease but with intense mesangial staining for IgA. A.
