Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disease. This study identifies IgA nephropathy as a new kidney complication in RP patients, responding well to steroid treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a multisystem autoimmune disease targeting type II collagen.
  • Kidney involvement in RP is rare, with previous cases primarily showing crescentic glomerulonephritis.

Observation:

  • This study reports two biopsy-proven cases of RP with concurrent IgA nephropathy.
  • Both patients presented with hematuria, mild proteinuria, and slightly impaired renal function.

Findings:

  • Histological and immunofluorescence findings confirmed IgA nephropathy in both RP patients.
  • Steroid treatment led to the diminution or disappearance of hematuria and proteinuria.

Implications:

  • IgA nephropathy represents a newly identified renal complication in relapsing polychondritis.
