Renal Biopsy : Ig A Nephropathy • Light microscopy - Mesangial hypercellularity • IgA is predominantly polymeric IgA1 • mainly derived from the mucosal immune system
IgA Nephropathy : Berger’s Disease • the most common lesion found to cause primary glomerulonephritis • peak incidence in the second and third decades of life • 2:1 male to female • greatest frequency in Asians and Caucasians • relatively rare in blacks
IgA Nephropathy • large undiagnosed "latent" IgA nephropathy in the general population • the process of mesangial IgA deposition is likely to be separate from the induction of glomerular injury • IgA deposition does not necessarily need to be followed by nephritis
IgA Deposition is Common • IgA deposition in other forms of glomerulonephritis • thin basement membrane nephropathy • lupus nephritis • minimal change disease • diabetic nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy • Many patients are detected on routine urine screening • asymptomatic hematuria and/or proteinuria • higher prevalence • active urine testing program • low threshold for renal biopsy
IgA Nephropathy • IgA nephropathy is established only by kidney biopsy • Immunofluorescence microscopy • demonstrating large, globular mesangial IgA deposits • also seen with HSP • IgA often accompanied by C3 and IgG in the mesangium
IgA Nephropathy • EM • electron dense deposits that are limited to the mesangial regions
IgA Nephropathy • mesangial glomerulonephritis showing segmental areas of increased mesangial matrix and cellularity
Idiopathic (most cases) Hepatic cirrhosis Gluten enteropathy HIV infection Minimal change disease Membranous GN Wegener’s granulomatosis Dermatitis herpetiformis Seronegative arthritis - eg, ankylosing spondylitis Small cell carcinoma Disseminated tuberculosis Mycosis fungoides Conditions associated with IgA nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy • Initiating event in the pathogenesis is the mesangial deposition of IgA • Codeposits of IgG and complement • commonly seen • may contribute to disease severity • Between episodes of gross hematuria • persistent microhematuria, proteinuria, or both. • Gross hematuria has also followed • tonsillectomy, vaccinations, strenuous physical exercise, and trauma.
Increased Plasma IgA Levels • Not alone is not sufficient to produce mesangial IgA deposits • Found in 50% of cases • IgA is probably accumulated and deposited because of a systemic abnormality rather than a defect intrinsic to the kidney
IgA Nephropathy • Two common presentations • episodic gross hematuria • 40-50% • upper respiratory tract infection, or, less often, gastroenteritis • persistent microscopic hematuria • 30-40% • asymptomatic, with erythrocytes (RBCs), RBC casts, and proteinuria discovered on urinalysis
IgA Nephropathy • Nephrotic range proteinuria is uncommon • occurring in only 5% of patients • Indicates more advanced disease • Approximately 1-2% of all patients with IgA nephropathy develop ESRD each year • Hypertension seldom occurs at the time of initial presentation
Platelet Derived Growth Factors Made by mesangial cells Increased PDGG receceptors in glomerular dz Infusion of glomerular transfection with PDGF leads to mesangial proliferation TGF- beta Made by mesangial cells Pro fibrotic Antiinflammatory and immunosuppresive Ig A Pathophysiology
Morbidity and Mortality • follow a benign course in most cases • at risk for slow progression to ESRD • approximately 15% of patients by 10 years • 20% by 20 years
Ig A Nephropathy Outcomes • 20-30% progress to ESRD over 20 years • 1-2% per year • Clinical predictors of poor renal outcome • Absence of gross hematuria • Male • Older onset age • HTN • Heavy proteinuria • Elevated Cr >2-2.5
Ig A Nephropathy Outcomes • Therapy remains to be defined • Antibiotics • Tonsillectomy • Cyclophosphamide, dipyridamole • High dose immunoglobulin therapy • Statins • Fish Oils • Ace inhibition • Cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil)
Ig A Nephropathy Outcomes • Ace inhibitors • Effectively reduce proteinuria in glomerular dz • ACE-I better than other anti – HTN meds to preserve GFR in Ig A • Questionable addititive effect with ARBS
Ig A Nephropathy Outcomes • Fish Oil • Meta analysis concluded there may be a minor benefit in heavy proteinuria • Dillon 1997 JASN • Low does omega 3 fatty acids as effective as high dose • Cellcept • Inhibits de novo guanosine nucleotide synthesis • Established use for transplant • Not that much improvement for Ig A
Ig A Treatment Summary • If Uprot <0.5 g/d and CrCl >70 • Observe and consider ACEI or ARB • If Uprot > 0.5 g/d and Cr Cl > 70 • ACEI/ARB for target bp 125/75 • If Uprot 1-3 g/d with Cr Cl >70 • Maximal ACEI/ ARB • Consider 6 months of high dose steroids and taper for 6 mo • If Uprot >3 g/d and CrCl <70 or declining • Steroids plus Cytotoxics • Possible maintenance with AZA or MMF
Transplant Recipients • high recurrence rate in renal transplant recipients who have IgA nephropathy • 25-60% • Increased risk of allograft loss in living related donor • disappearance of the deposits from donor kidneys with IgA nephropathy when transplanted into donors without the disease
Patient Progression • Cr continued to worsen with disease progression • March Cr: 2.0 • April Cr: 3.09 – 4.2 • Initiation of Cytoxan and Steroids ( 2 cycles) • ACEI caused hyperkalemia • Fish Oil, BB, Lasix , Zaroxolyn, Statin, PPI, Oscal • May Cr :5.2 • June 18th: 8.76 • ESRD with hemodialysis initiation • Uncontrollable edema and pulmonary edema despite diuretics
Question 1 • Which of the following is the most predictive for progression of Ig A • A- elevated levels of IgA • B- elevated Cr at baseline diagnosis • C- male gender • D- absence of gross hematuria

Diffuse foot process effacement is seen on EM. What is the next step for management? • A- Add ARB • B- Add MMF • C- Add steroids • D- Add fish oils • E-Tonsillectomy
