What kind of disease is IgA Nephropathy?
IgA Nephropathy is a kidney disease. It is more like a disorder, where the IgA-protein that helps the body fight infections, settles in the kidneys. Ultimately this results in a buildup of this protein in the kidneys, and later causes the kidneys to leak blood or protein in the urine.
What is an IgA antibody?
IgA constitutes approximately 15% of the immunoglobulins within the body. Although it is found to some degree in the blood, it is present primarily in the secretions of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, in saliva, colostrum.
What does elevated immunogloblin IgA mean?
First, what is an IGA? It is immunoglobulin - a type of antibody that protects against infections. Elevated levels have to do with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. And now another question may arise from what elevated levels of IGA are involved with. Waldenstrom's Mcaroglobulinemia is a type of cancer invovling a subtype of white blood cells. You should know, firstly this answer is completely wrong so please ignore it. Please if you need a proper answer ask a GP. Firstly it is not "IGA", but IgA. Elevated levels of IgA do NOT correspond to WM. IgA is found in mucosal areas (the moist areas such as throat, stomach etc). An elevated level MAY correspond to multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). It may also be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus and rheumatic athritis. Finally it is also associated with liver diseases such as hepatitis (however other clear signs are present). I hope this helps, and please contact a health professional next time who will know the correct answer and not give false answers! Regards

Can Burgers disease occurs with no kidney symptoms?
No. gA nephropathy (nuh-FROP-uh-the) is a common kidney disease that occurs when an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA) lodges in your kidneys. This hampers your kidneys' ability to filter waste, excess water and electrolytes from your blood. Over time, IgA nephropathy - also called Berger's disease - can lead to blood and protein in your urine, high blood pressure, and swollen hands and feet. IgA nephropathy usually progresses slowly over many years, and although some people eventually achieve complete remission, others develop end-stage kidney failure. No cure exists for IgA nephropathy, but certain medications can slow its course. Keeping your blood pressure under control and reducing your cholesterol levels also may help keep IgA nephropathy in check.
