Abstract Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common primary glomerulonephritis. It runs a slow and sometimes relentless clinical course with consequent end-stage renal failure in 35–40% of patients 25–30 years after first clinical presentation.

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

Immunoglobulin a nephropathy complicating pulmonary tuberculosis
A 31-year-old man who presented with smear- and culture-negative pulmonary tuberculosis had associated macroscopic hematuria, elevation of serum creatinine and immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, overt proteinuria, and peripheral edema. Renal biopsy revealed focal mesangial proliferation with IgA deposits, and a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy was made.

Advances in Genetics of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy
Familial aggregation of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and variation in prevalence among different ethnicities indicate inherited factors contribute to disease pathogenesis. Studies have also shown that IgAN patients also have an inherited defect in O-glycosylation of IgA1.

One-Year estimated GFR Slope Independently Predicts Clinical Benefit in Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a serious, progressive, immune complex–mediated kidney disease. Being a rare disease, a key challenge for the evaluation of potential new treatments for IgAN is that the progression to end-stage kidney disease ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
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 ...
