What Is IgA Nephropathy?
IgA nephropathy (also called Berger’s disease) is an immune-mediated kidney disorder in which IgA antibodies accumulate in the glomeruli. This triggers inflammation and gradual damage to the kidney filters.
Key features may include:
- Blood in urine (visible or microscopic)
- Protein leakage in urine
- High blood pressure
- Gradual rise in serum creatinine
- Variable disease progression
Many patients remain asymptomatic in early stages, making regular monitoring essential.
