| Publisher Description: IgA nephropathy is a chronic kidney illness that sometimes first appears during puberty and in young adults, affecting three times as many men as women. It is also known as IgAN, Berger's disease, synpharyngitic glomerulonephritis and IgA nephritis. The disease is a form of glomerulonephritis - a condition where the kidneys' glomeruli become inflamed. It typically follows an upper respiratory infection or a gastrointestinal infection. The disease is the most common type of glomerulonephritis. If you or a loved one is suffering from IgA nephropathy, this concise book outlines the facts of the disease and provides an indispensable reference for treatment options. |
