  2. IgA nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IgA_nephropathy

    In children and younger adults, the history and association with respiratory infection can raise the suspicion of IgA nephropathy. A kidney biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The biopsy specimen shows proliferation of the mesangium , with IgA deposits on immunofluorescence and electron microscopy .

  3. Glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerulonephritis

    IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is the most common type of glomerulonephritis, and generally presents with isolated visible or occult hematuria, occasionally combined with low grade proteinuria, and rarely causes a nephritic syndrome characterised by proteinuria, and visible blood in the urine. IgA nephropathy is classically ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henoch–Schönlein_purpura

    As with IgA nephropathy, serum levels of IgA are high in HSP and there are identical findings on renal biopsy; however, IgA nephropathy has a predilection for young adults while HSP is more predominant among children. Further, IgA nephropathy typically only affects the kidneys while HSP is a systemic disease.

  5. Nephritic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephritic_syndrome

    IgA nephropathy (Note: Contrast time of onset with Post-streptococcal Glomerulonephritis) - Most commonly diagnosed in children who recently had an upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Symptoms typically present within 1–2 days of a non-specific URI with severe flank / abdominal pain, gross hematuria (characterized by dark brown or red ...

    English: What is IgA nephropathy? IgA nephropathy, sometimes called Berger disease, is a type of nephritic syndrome where abnormal IgA antibody is formed, which results in immune complex deposition in the glomerular mesangium, leading to kidney disease. This video covers the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and treatment of IgA nephropathy.

  7. Thin basement membrane disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_basement_membrane_disease

    In IgA nephropathy, episodes of frank hematuria are more common, and a family history is less common. A kidney biopsy is the only way to diagnose thin basement membrane disease. It reveals thinning of the glomerular basement membrane from the normal 300 to 400 nanometers (nm) to 150 to 250 nm.

  8. Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesangial_proliferative_gl...

    IgA nephropathy is the most common cause of MesPGN. [3] It is thought abnormally glycosylated IgA form polymers and deposit in the mesangium. [3] Subsequently, IgA immune complexes bind to IgA receptors on mesangial cells and induce injury to mesangial cells through release of cytokines and growth factors that promote infiltration of leukocytes ...

  9. Diffuse proliferative nephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_proliferative...

    The other commonly associated disease is Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. Post-infectious glomerulonephritis can also be caused by bacterial or viral infections. Streptococcal throat or skin infection is most commonly seen as the origin if glomerulonephritis is going to be caused by an infection. [ 6 ]
