[The role of infection in IgA-nephropathy development in patients of different age groups]
Abstract:
Currently, much attention is given to studying the etiological role of bacterial and viral infection in the development and progression of IgA-nephropathy. We analyzed the renal biopsy tissue from 117 patients with IgA-nephropathy in presence of an infectious antigen. We have discovered that the presence of an infectious antigen does not depend on the age of a patient. A pronounced effect of infection on the development of morphological changes in the kidneys regardless of the age of the patient is shown.
