IgA nephropathy is an immune complex glomerulonephritis in which examination of the renal biopsy by immunofluorescence reveals IgA as the predominant antibody deposited in the glomerular mesangium (Clarkson et al., 1984). It was first described by Berger in 1969. The disease is more common in males and occurs generally during the second or third decades of life (Emancipator et al., 1985). A case of established IgA nephropathy with subsequent onset of sensorineural deafness is described.
