چکیده
The actual state of IgA nephropathy in Japan was surveyed throughout the nation by a questionnaire. Five hundred patients were collected from 26 departments of pediatrics and 2,1 75 from 27 internal medicine. IgA nephropathy accounted for 19.2% of the children and 30.0% of the adults among primary glomerular diseases. Most of the patients, regardless children and adults, were detected by chance proteinuria and/or hematuria. No significant difference of renal glomerular findings were observed morphologically, between the children and the adults. IgA nephropathy was characterized by relatively benign clinical course, namely, 87.2% of the children and 74.6% of the adults had a favorable outcome. Nephrotic syndrome developed in 4.6% of the children and 3.7% of the adults, and hypertension in 4.6% and 10.6% of the children and the adults, respectively. While, the fact should not be neglected that 1.8% of the children and 8.0% of the adults developed renal failure or died.

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. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic biomarkers of this disease after biopsy. Methods: IgA...

PolTmeric IgA in sera was determined by thin-layer gel filtration in patients with IgA ncphropathy, other glomerular diseases, IgA myeloma and healthy adults to determine whethcr serum IgA is composed of a monomcric and/or larger pelymers in these patients. The levels of IgA in sera were also quantitated by laser nephelometer in these patients. Eleven patients with IgA nephropathy (Berger's dis...
