Abstract
Our knowledge of the natural history of idiopathic IgA mesangial nephropathy is still incomplete for two major reasons: (a) the disease has been characterized and recognized as a distinct clinical and pathologic entity only in these last 15 years, with the worldwide application of immunofluorescence microscopy to renal biopsies, and therefore clinical data from long-term observations of large series of patients are still scarce; and (b) for the subgroup of patients whose disease is discovered by chance because of asymptomatic urinary abnormalities, it is impossible to identify the time of onset.
