What does IgA nephropathy mean

First, IgA nephropathy refers to the glomerular mesangial area with IgA (immunoglobulin A) or IgA deposition, with or without other immunoglobulin deposition in the glomerular mesangial area of primary glomerulopathy. Its clinical manifestations are recurrent gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of proteinuria. Some patients may have severe hypertension or renal insufficiency.

Second, IgA nephritis is a special typical glomerulonephritis, which is more common in young people and children, and is also known as Berger's disease in clinic. IgA nephritis before the onset of upper respiratory tract infection, lesions characterized by mesangial hyperplasia, in the examination can be found in the membranous area of IgA deposition.

Third: urine discoloration is one of them. When urine is dark brown, meat washing water sample, soy sauce color or turbid, such as rice washing water, see a doctor immediately. In addition, IgA nephritis early symptoms are: too much or too little urine. The average urine volume of normal people is about 1500 ml per day, 4-8 times per day. If there is no fever, excessive sweating, excessive drinking water and so on, when the urine volume shows a sudden decrease or a sudden increase, we have to go to the hospital for examination to see if it is kidney disease.
