IgA nephropathy.

چکیده
A great interest in IgA nephropathy was demonstrated in the last few years. Unfortunately, a complete picture of this chronic disease should not yet been made. The article deals with 7 patients with IgA nephropathy treated in our Institute. The following characteristics were examined during a long period of time (1-17 years): clinical picture, course of the disease, clinical and morphologic correlations. The disease is characterised by micro-and macro-haematuria. In 6 patients a moderate proteinuria and slow progression of the disease were noted. Hypertension, massive proteinuria and azothemia in IgA nephropathy suggested a bad prognosis of the disease. This was confirmed in one patient who developed terminal renal insufficiency within 4 months. The pathological finding by optic microscope revealed a wide spectrum of changes. The role of immunofluorescent microscopy is crucial in the diagnosis of this disease.

During a 14-month period (Dec. 1990-Jan. 1992) , renal biopsies were performed on 105 patients with suspected glomerular disease. All specimens were processed for light microscopy (L.M) and immunoflourescence. Work-up revealed 21 patients to suffer a systemic glomerular disease and glomerular disease was found to be primery in 85 cases. Predominant IgG deposition was noted in 71 cases with prim...

Introduction: IgA Nephropathy is the most common form of glomerulonephritis and the major cause of end-stage renal disease. Gross or microscopic hematuria is a common symptom of hematuria and occurs in less than 5% to 10% of patients with IGM with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.

Anderson-Fabry disease is a rare inherited X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Hereby we report a 39 year old male that presented with proteinuria and edema. Histopathologic, immunofluorescence and ultrastractural examination of renal tissue were in favor of Fabry disease in associate with IgA nephropathy. Fabry's disease associated ...
