| Definitions |
[GARD Definition]: Berger disease (frequently called IgA nephropathy) is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA, a protein that helps the body fight infections, settles in the kidneys. The cause of this condition is unknown. After many years, deposits of IgA may cause the kidneys to leak blood and sometimes protein in the urine. In the early stages, Berger disease has no symptoms. The first sign of this condition may be blood in the urine. After 10 to 20 years with Berger disease, the kidneys may show signs of damage. Treatment focuses on slowing the disease and preventing complications. Berger disease can occur at any age, even in childhood. About 25 percent of adults and 5 to 10 percent of children with Berger disease develop total kidney failure. Total kidney failure means the kidney damage is permanent and dialysis or a kidney transplant is required. - this information is from GARD/ORDR/NCATS. [CSP Definition]: Most common cause of primary glomerular disease in Europe, Australia, and United States; lesions formed as a consequence of mesangial formations of immune deposits composed of IgA. [MSH Definition]: A chronic form of glomerulonephritis characterized by deposits of predominantly IMMUNOGLOBULIN A in the mesangial area (GLOMERULAR MESANGIUM). Deposits of COMPLEMENT C3 and IMMUNOGLOBULIN G are also often found. Clinical features may progress from asymptomatic HEMATURIA to END-STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE. [NCIt Definition]: A chronic autoimmune glomerulonephritis characterized by the deposition of immunoglobulin A in the mesangium of the glomeruli. It is manifested with hematuria and mild proteinuria. [NICHD Definition]: Glomerulonephropathy characterized by mesangial deposition of IgA antibody in the glomerulus. It is often characterized by hematuria, which may include episodes of visible hematuria during acute illness, and/or proteinuria. |
