Berger’s disease or IgA nephropathy « The disease was first described in 1801 by Heberden (of "Heberden's nodes" fame) in a 5-year old child with abdominal pain, hematuria, and purpura of the legs. Then in 1837, Johann Schonlein and Eduard Henoch built upon these discoveries by further characterizing the disease in pediatric populations. It was not until 1968 that the pathogenic role of IgA depositions was revealed, based on the work of French pathologist Jean Berger (left). Prior to his discovery that mesangial IgA deposits are present in these patients, many had believed IgG to be the sole nephritogenic immunoglobulin. » www.igan-world.org Jean Berger et Nicole Hinglais Dépôts intercapillaires d’IgA-IgG. J Urol Nephrol (Paris). Sept 1968; 74:694-5.
History French disease ? Food & environnement? 1975 1968 1972-3 Description at Necker Hosp, Paris Severe disease. Recurrence after Tx Habib & Levy: Berger’s disease Description by other groups: • Netherlands (Maintz and coll) • USA (West & Burkholder) • UK (Davies and coll) • Australia (Woodroffe & Clarkson) • Japan (Ueda and coll)
DIAGNOSIS OF IgAN: 1. Most of patients are asymptomatic 2. IgAN discovered during routine examination for jobs due to the presence of hematuria with or without proteinuria 3. Macroscopic hematuria following upper respiratory tract infection or after sport (back pain and hematuria). 4. Usually less than 40 years old 5. Definitive diagnosis is only made by kidney biopsy
Immunofluorescence • IgG in 30-50% of cases • IgM in 5-10% of cases (severity?) • C3 in more than 60% of cases • more λ than κ chains • mesangial electrodense deposits IgA1 deposition in the mesangium

The Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy Summary of four key pathological features 1. Mesangial Hypercellularity Score: ≤ 0.5 (M0) or < 0.5 (M1) 2. Segmental glomerulosclerosis: absent (S0) or present (S1) 3. Endocapillary hypercellularity: absent (E0) or present (E1) 4. Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis : ≤ 25% (T0), 26-50% (T1), or > 50% (T2) International IgAN Network & Renal Pathology Society Cattran et al Kidney Int 76, 534-545, 2009 Roberts et al Kidney Int 76, 546-556, 2009
