Extractions: IgA nephropathy is a chronic kidney disease that may progress over a period of 10 to 20 years, and can lead to end-stage renal disease. It is caused by deposits of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the glomeruli (filters) within the kidney. These glomeruli normally filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine, however, the IgA protein prevents this filtering process. This may lead to: What causes IgA nephropathy?
► IgA Nephropathy (Bergerâs Disease) A medical encycopedia article on the topic iga nephropathy (Bergersdisease). English / Spanish iga nephropathy (Bergers disease). http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000466.htm
Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a form of mesangial proliferative nephritis. Inflammation of the renal glomeruli occurs, and there are IgA (a type of antibody ) deposits in the kidney. The disorder can appear as acute , rapidly progressive, or chronic glomerulonephritis ; or as visible or microscopic hematuria blood in the urine Berger's disease usually is discovered after one or more episodes of dark or bloody urine in a person with no other symptoms of kidney disorder. Bloody urine may begin during or soon after a respiratory infection. Acute nephritic syndrome or nephrotic syndrome (groups of symptoms associated with decreased kidney functioning) may result.

Extractions: What is IgA nephropathy? IgA nephropathy (IgAN, also known as Berger's disease ) is a kidney disease, which affects the glomerulus. Glomeruli are the tiny blood filters where urine is made. IgA nephropathy is the commonest "glomerulonephritis" (inflammation of the glomerulus) found in the developed countries of the world. IgA is short for immunoglobulin A, an antibody which usually helps the body to fight infections and toxins (poisons) encountered in the gut and the lungs. In IgA nephropathy, IgA is deposited in the glomerulus and sometimes goes on to cause problems. Although much research is trying to fnd out why, it is still not understood why IgA is deposited in the kidneys and why it only sometimes goes on to cause problems. Normal glomerulus.

Introduction: IgA Nephropathy - WrongDiagnosis.com Introduction to iga nephropathy as a medical condition including symptoms,diagnosis, misdiagnosis, treatment, prevention, and prognosis. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/i/iga_nephropathy/intro.htm
Extractions: IgA nephropathy: IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder caused by deposits of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the glomeruli (filters) within the kidney. These glomeruli (the singular form is glomerulus ) normally filter wastes and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. The IgA protein prevents this filtering process, leading to blood and protein in the urine and swelling in the hands and feet. This chronic kidney disease may progress over a period of 10 to 20 years. If this disorder leads to end-stage renal disease, the patient must go on dialysis or receive a kidney transplant.
Statistics About IgA Nephropathy - WrongDiagnosis.com Statistics about iga nephropathy as a medical condition including prevalence,incidence, death rates, and social and hospital statistics. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/i/iga_nephropathy/stats.htm
Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about IgA nephropathy. The term 'prevalence' of IgA nephropathy usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing IgA nephropathy at any given time. The term 'incidence' of IgA nephropathy refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of IgA nephropathy diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.

Extractions: Table of Contents Meeting Proceeding J NEPHROL 2003; 16: 317-320 Inherited forms of IgA nephropathy Francesco Scolari - Division of Nephrology, Spedali Civili, Brescia - Italy ABSTRACT: Simplex and multiplex families with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have been reported from several ethnic backgrounds, providing the strongest evidence of a role for genetic factors in pathogenesis of IgAN. From a phenotypic point of view, familial and sporadic IgAN cannot be differentiated, and the main clinical and histological features are similar. Traditionally, the case-control study design was employed to identify associations between particular candidate genes, for example, HLA antigens the uteroglobin gene and IgAN, giving conflicting results. Recently, a different approach, using linkage analysis, was undertaken by geneticists at Yale University. A 10-cM genome-wide screen was performed in 30 multiplex IgAN pedigrees, and one locus was mapped (IGAN-1) on chromosome 6q22-23. Future study will be focused on the identification of the gene underlying IGAN-1. This will enable us to understand the molecular pathogenetic basis of IgAN.

Extractions: Introduction Diseases that damage the glomerulus are a major cause of kidney related problems. As a group these diseases are collectively called glomerulonephritis, a term that you may hear your doctor refer to. They are the most common reason why people have to visit a renal clinic. They are a very diverse group of diseases and have many different causes, may produce different types of problems and have different treatments. The types of clinical problems that are caused by glomerular diseases have been dealt with in other sections and include Although it is possible to predict which disease is affecting the glomerulus the only definite way of determining the exact type is by a renal biopsy (taking a piece of the kidney away and looking at the sample under a microscope). The glomerular diseases can be divided into two broad categories: Those that are primarily a disease of the kidney and those that develop as part of a generalised illness e.g. diabetes.
