Glomerular Dz

IgA Nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, predominantly affects young males but can occur at any age. It often presents with episodic hematuria and can progress to chronic renal failure in about half of the cases.

    Compare microscopic findings to Acute-PIGN.

    Stages (I-IV) determined by EM

    If immune complex deposition is stopped at early stages, changes are reversible.

  • Not to be confused with Buerger's dz (thromboangiitis obliterans)

    Before Dx, rule out the following

  • Lupus
  • Henoch-Schonlein Purpura



  • May see IgG and C3 also.
