Abstract
|
|
|
|
IgA nephropathy is recognized worldwide as one of the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis. Clinical manifestations vary, ranging from microscopic hematuria to nephrotic syndrome. Most cases of IgA nephropathy are idiopathic. A variety of additional disorders have been associated with IgA nephropathy, some of which shed light on possible pathogenetic mechanism. Association with psoriasis has been debated for a long time. Secondary renal amyloidosis in psoriatic arthropathy and drug-induced renal lesions secondary to methotrexate or cyclosporine are accepted accompaniments of psoriasis. We report 3 cases of IgA nephropathy which was diagnosed by renal biopsy in a patient with psoriasis.
