Retinal Tear as a Sign of an IgA Nephropathy Flare: A Case Report
1Nephrology, Ronald Reagan University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA.
Abstract:
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a common glomerular disease. IgA nephropathy typically presents with proteinuria, micro- or macroscopic hematuria, and/or hypertension in adults. Although rare, IgA nephropathy is also associated with ocular manifestations. Here, we present a case of retinal tear as a likely indication of IgA nephropathy flare. This case shows that it is important to assess for ocular manifestations in patients with IgA nephropathy. Ocular manifestations may assist with guiding treatment for IgA nephropathy.
