Biopsy Proven IgA Nephropathy in a Patient with Leprosy: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Doctors describe one patient with leprosy whose kidney biopsy showed IgA nephropathy, a disease where the immune system clogs and damages the kidney's tiny filters. They also went back through earlier published reports of the same pairing. A single case shows the two conditions can occur together; it cannot prove one caused the other.
