| description | Inmunoglobulin A (NIgA) Nephropathy also known as Berger disease, was described for the first time in 1968 by Berger and Hinglais. It is a heterogeneous disease, not only from clinical point of view but also from the histologicalone. Characterized by the presence of IgA mesangials deposits. Clinical presentation is extremely variable and can vary from isolated microhematuria up to a severe damage of renal function due to superimposed extracapillary glomerulonephritis. Initially it was considered an entity with good prognosis, but over time and more knowledge about IgAN, it was shown that 20 to 30% of 20 years old patients evolved to end stage renal failure and other 20% had important renal function loss. In the present article we describe a case of a patient in whom we detected by chance renal damage markers in the urine, and then the histologic findings observed in renal biopsy, modified the prognosis and therapeutic procedure. From this clinical case, we performed an update on IgA Nephropathy. |
