Berger Disease (IgA Nephropathy)
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Berger's disease, also called IgA nephropathy, is a kidney disorder in which a type of antibody accumulates in their filtering units and causes inflammation. It is one of the causes of kidney damage of immune origin.
How it manifests: it is often detected by the presence of blood or protein in the urine, sometimes after a respiratory infection; it can go unnoticed for a long time.
Why monitor it: although its course varies, follow-up is advisable to protect kidney function over time.
Which specialist treats it? Its study and management fall to the nephrologist, with support from the laboratory for the analysis of the urine. If you notice bloody or foamy urine, the sensible thing is to discuss it with a professional for a timely evaluation.
