IgA Nephropathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease in which an antibody called immunoglobulin A builds up in its filters, which causes inflammation and can affect kidney function over time. It is one of the best-known glomerular conditions.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the one who evaluates kidney function and follows up on this condition; in children the pediatric nephrologist steps in.
Symptoms that may appear: blood in the urine, at times visible after a respiratory illness, foamy urine, swelling, or high blood pressure; sometimes it is detected in routine tests.
When should you seek care? In the face of bloody urine, persistent foam, or abnormal findings on urine tests, the recommended course is to go for a professional evaluation that studies the kidney.
