Mesangial IgA deposits with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome: probable minimal lesion nephrosis. 1985

P Sinnassamy, and S O'Regan

Two children presented with nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy demonstrated minimal lesion nephrosis with mesangial IgA deposits. Response to prednisone therapy was prompt in both cases. The clinical and histologic features of these and other reported cases suggested a diagnosis of minimal lesion nephrosis and not IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D008297 Male Males
D009402 Nephrosis, Lipoid A kidney disease with no or minimal histological glomerular changes on light microscopy and with no immune deposits. It is characterized by lipid accumulation in the epithelial cells of KIDNEY TUBULES and in the URINE. Patients usually show NEPHROTIC SYNDROME indicating the presence of PROTEINURIA with accompanying EDEMA.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
