A case report: a patient with IgA nephropathy and coeliac disease. Complete clinical remission following gluten-free diet
نویسندگان
چکیده
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents usually as a primary disease. However, secondary forms of IgAN have been described, most commonly associated with liver disease [1]. The presence of high levels of IgA against food antigens including gliadin and IgG and IgA antiendomysial antibodies in some patients with IgAN has raised the possibility of a pathophysiological link between IgAN and coeliac disease (CD) [2]. Experimental IgAN can be induced by dietary gluten or gliadin [3]. Furthermore, a favourable outcome of gluten-free diet on IgAN has been described [4].
