IgA Nephropathy overview

June 5, 2023 by Dr. Ravi Bhadania

IgA nephropathy is a type of kidney disease that occurs when an antibody called IgA builds up in the kidneys, causing inflammation and damage. The exact cause is not known, but it is believed to be related to problems with the immune system.

Symptoms of IgA nephropathy may include blood in the urine, proteinuria (excess protein in the urine), high blood pressure, and swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet. Still, some people may not have any symptoms at all.

Diagnosis of IgA nephropathy typically involves a combination of blood tests, urine tests, and kidney biopsies. A biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of kidney tissue is removed and examined under a microscope to look for signs of damage.

Treatment for IgA nephropathy may include medications to control blood pressure and reduce inflammation, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). In some cases, corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications may also be used to reduce inflammation and prevent further kidney damage.

The prognosis for IgA nephropathy varies depending on the severity of the disease and how quickly it is diagnosed and treated. Some people may have mild disease that does not progress, while others may develop more serious complications such as chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease.

In some cases, IgA nephropathy may recur after kidney transplantation. However, this is not always the case, and the risk of recurrence can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the disease and the type of transplant.
