Minimal Change Disease and IgA Deposition: Separate Entities or Common Pathophysiology?
Introduction. Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children, while IgA nephropathy is the most common cause of glomerulonephritis worldwide. MCD is responsive to glucocorticoids, while the role of steroids in IgA nephropathy remains unclear. We describe a case of two distinct clinical and pathological findings, raising the question of whether MCD and Ig...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients with IgA nephropathy typically present with hematuria and subnephrotic proteinuria.

It seems possible that these three entities form part of a disease spectrum rather than being distinct conditions.
