The most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide — IgA immune deposits in the glomeruli, often surfacing after a respiratory infection.
IgA nephropathy (Berger disease) presents with blood in urine (often after flu-like illness), proteinuria, and hypertension. Prognosis varies widely: many have stable disease; others progress to kidney failure over decades. Management includes RAAS blockade, blood pressure control, SGLT2 inhibitors, and in progressive disease immunosuppression or targeted therapy (sparsentan, budesonide).
Blood in the urine — visible (gross) or microscopic — with causes ranging from infection and stones to glomerulonephritis and malignancy.
Abnormal presence of protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney damage and the strongest predictor of CKD progression and cardiovascular risk.
Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli) - a diverse family of diseases often presenting with blood and protein in urine.
Albumin leaking into urine — the earliest and most important marker of kidney filter damage, measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).
A blood-pressure drug (e.g., ramipril, lisinopril, enalapril) that also protects the kidneys by reducing protein leakage.
