Pathogenic Immunoglobulin A-Producing Cells in Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent primary glomerular disease worldwide and it remains a leading cause of kidney failure. Clinical manifestations of IgA are exacerbated by infections, and emerging data suggest that aberrant mucosal immune responses are important contributors to the immunopathogenesis of this disease. However, the

Clinical periodontal diagnosis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Current therapeutic management of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

, 1994
Roughly 40% of all patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) develop diabetic nephropathy with proteinuria, hypertension and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate 10 to 20 years after the onset of the disease, and 5 years later most ...

High serum IgA/C3 ratio better predicts a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy among primary glomerular nephropathy patients with proteinuria ≤ 1 g/d: an observational cross-sectional study

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background The serum immunoglobulin A (IgA)/C3 ratio is considered to be an effective predictor of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This study sought to explore the diagnostic value of the IgA/C3 ratio in IgAN among primary glomerular nephropathy patients in ...

Genetics of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy

Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore, 2000
Introduction: Immunoglobulin (Ig) A nephropathy is the most common primary glomerulonephritis in the world and about 20% to 50% of patients with it develop progressive renal failure. There is considerable evidence to show that IgA nephropathy is influenced by genetic factors.

Is serum hemoglobin level an independent prognostic factor for IgA nephropathy?: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational cohort studies

Renal Failure, 2023
Background Decreased serum hemoglobin (Hb) level is associated with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) progression. However, whether serum Hb level is an independent prognostic factor of IgAN remains controversial.

Recent advances in the immunological understanding of association between tonsil and immunoglobulin A nephropathy as a tonsil‐induced autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2019
Introduction Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. It is well known that upper respiratory tract infections, particularly acute tonsillitis, often worsen IgAN.
