IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease)

Definition

IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a kidney disorder characterized by the buildup of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in the kidneys, leading to inflammation and potential damage to the kidney tissues. This condition can result in blood and protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and impaired kidney function.
