IgA nephropathy associated with disseminated tuberculosis.

A J Cohen, E D Rosenstein

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |March 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tuberculosis can cause IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease characterized by IgA deposits. Treatment for tuberculosis resolved the kidney abnormalities in a patient, suggesting a link between the infection and this glomerulopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a primary glomerulopathy often linked to mucosal antigen exposure.
    • Disseminated tuberculosis is a systemic infectious disease with diverse clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A 59-year-old male presented with disseminated tuberculosis, microscopic hematuria, and red blood cell casts.
    • Renal biopsy confirmed IgA nephropathy, showing focal mesangial proliferation with IgA deposits.

    Findings:

    • Antituberculous therapy led to the resolution of urinary abnormalities, including hematuria and red cell casts.
    • The case suggests a potential causal relationship between mycobacterial infection and IgA nephropathy.

    Implications:

    • Tuberculosis should be considered as a potential trigger for IgA nephropathy, particularly in patients with concurrent infections.
    • This finding expands the understanding of secondary causes of IgA nephropathy and highlights the kidney as a potential site for tuberculous complications.
