Report of a Case of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy in a Patient Without a Family History of Kidney Disease
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. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic biomarkers of this disease after biopsy. Methods: IgA...

BACKGROUND Renal biopsy is not free from complications and patients who undergo this procedure are usually hospitalized to receive intensive care for several days after biopsy. In contrast, after this period, routine follow-up to detect biopsy-associated complications is rarely scheduled, unless the patient develops a clinical manifestation. We describe a case of marked enlargement of arteriove...
متن کاملAcute renal failure in IgA nephropathy: aggravation by gross hematuria due to anticoagulant treatment.
IgA nephropathy is one of the most common forms of glomerulonephritis. Macroscopic or microscopic hematuria with mild proteinuria are the main symptoms. Without complicating factors, IgA nephropathy has a favourable long-term prognosis. We report a case of reversible acute renal failure (ARF) as a complication of mild IgA nephropathy while oral anticoagulants were administered. Diagnosis was ba...
متن کاملArterio-venous fistula with pseudoaneurysm of renal artery.
INTRODUCTION The authors describe a rare but potentially severe, sometimes even life-threatening complication occurring after various invasive renal interventions. The cause that gives rise to a fistula formation between close branches of renal artery and vein is an injury of these vessels during resection of a localised renal tumour, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, and even blunt injur...

A 46-year-old male was found to have proteinuria on a routine medical examination in 1985 at the age of 22 years and was diagnosed with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy by renal biopsy. He regularly visited a hospital, but 3 years later made the decision to stop. In 2000, his serum creatinine level was 1.3 mg/dl. His renal function then deteriorated, with persistent proteinuria and hematuria,...
