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.
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.

IgA nephropathy?
DefinitionNephropathy refers to damage, disease , or other abnormalities of the kidney. IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder in which antibodies to a protein called IgA build up in kidney tissue.It is also called Berger's disease.Alternative NamesNephropathy - IgA; Berger's diseaseCauses, incidence, and risk factorsIgA is a protein that helps the body fight infections. IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) occurs when too much of this protein is deposited in the kidneys. IgA builds up inside the small blood vessels of the kidney. Structures in the kidney called glomeruli become inflamed.IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a form of mesangial proliferative nephritis.The disorder can appear suddenly (acute), or progress slowly over many years (chronic glomerulonephritis).Risk factors include::A personal or family history of IgA nephropathy or Henoch Schonlein purpura, a form of vasculitis that affects many parts of the bodyCaucasian or Asian ethnicityIgA nephropathy can occur in persons of all ages, but most often affects males in their teens to late 30s.SymptomsThere may be no symptoms for many years.Symptoms include:Bloody urine that starts during or soon after a respiratory infectionRepeated episodes of dark or bloody urineHand and feet swellingSymptoms of chronic kidney diseaseSigns and testsIgA nephropathy usually is discovered after one or more episodes of dark or bloody urine in a person with no other symptoms of kidney disorder.There are no specific changes seen during a physical examination. Occasionally, blood pressure may be high or swelling of the body may be present.Tests include:Creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to measure kidney functionUrinalysis will show blood and protein in the urineKidney biopsyconfirms the diagnosisUrine immunoelectrophoresisTreatmentThe goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent or delay chronic renal failure.Medicines may be given to control high blood pressure and swelling (edema). Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are used. Controlling blood pressure is the most important measure to delay kidney damage.Corticosteroids, other immunosuppressive drugs, and fish oil have also been used to treat this disorder.Salt and fluids may be restricted to control swelling. A low to moderateproteindiet may be recommended in some cases.Some people will need to take medicines to lower their cholesterol.Eventually, many patients must be treated for chronic kidney disease.Support GroupsFor additional information and support, see the IgA Nephropathy Support Network website (www.igansupport.org).Expectations (prognosis)IgA nephropathy progresses slowly. In many cases, it does not progress at all. High blood pressure, large quantities of protein in the urine, and increased BUN or creatinine levels (blood tests that reflect kidney functioning) indicate a higher risk for progression of the disorder.About 25% of adults with IgA nephropathy develop end-stage kidney failurewithin about 25 years.ComplicationsAcute nephritic syndrome or nephrotic syndromeChronic kidney failureEnd-stage kidney diseaseCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have bloody urine or if your urine output decreases.ReferencesIn: Goldman L, Ausiello D, eds.
