Talk:IgA nephropathy

How Special Is Japan Anyway?

"School children in Japan undergo routine urinalysis (as do Army recruits in Singapore) and any suspicious abnormality is pursued with a kidney biopsy, which might partly explain the high incidence of IgA nephropathy in those countries."

Is such screening really all that unusual? Belgian children also undergo urinalysis several times (that's how I was diagnosed). And that makes me think this probably happens in much of (Western) Europe. So I find that sentence very puzzling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.76.241.224 (talk) 14:14, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Unreadable

Is this helpful for anyone except med students? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.20.184.23 (talk) 21:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

could

could this be titled 'iga nephropathy'? i agree that iga nephritis is more accurate, however (i believe) the former is the term used more commonly, esp in north america/india. for the heck of it, i typed both in google, nephropathy had 219000 whereas nephritis 115000!Hswapnil 01:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

diagnosis

i have reworded many parts, is it readable?Hswapnil 19:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Very good work! The article was already pretty technical. Where possible, those sections relevant for the general public may need more explanatory material in brackets. Apart from the O-glycosylation hypothesis, are you aware of any other pathogenetic theories?

Would you be able to convince your local pathology department to provide a biopsy slide of mesangial proliferation, or perhaps an immunofluorescence picture of mesangial IgA deposition? JFW | T@lk 06:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

redirected from Buerger's disease and the text says this:

This should not be confused with Buerger's disease, an unrelated condition.

 How embarassing.  Someone with some knowledge ( as opposed to one like myself in search of knowledge) should fix this.

Biopsy classification

Template:Catalog lookup link - an international working group is scoring biopsy features to establish a systematic pathological classification of IgA nephropathy. JFW | T@lk 21:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

External links

External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience. Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.

The following kinds of links are inappropriate:

• Online discussion groups or chat forums
• Personal webpages and blogs
• Multiple links to the same website
• Fundraising events or groups
• Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
• Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)

I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Sialylation

- premature IgA1 O-sialylation seems to be a feature. JFW | T@lk 11:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Enzymtherapy

I have very good experiance with the enzymotherapy. - WOBENZYM -. This product helped me to dismiss my microhematuria caused by IgA nephropathy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.180.24.79 (talk) 19:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Large amounts of unsourced edits

This edit inserted a lot of unsourced claims. I invite to discuss the edit here. What we need are reliable sources to verify the claims. Further, I would recommend making smaller edits -- perhaps limited to just one section (or even one sentence) at a time for ease of discussion. Please discuss here before making further edits. Thank you! SueDonem (talk) 05:36, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Recommending "cheese, cereal, and sushi" with a single source...

The article includes a recommendation to eat cheese, cereal and sushi based on a single study. That does not seem to fit in Wikipedia based on the guidelines for medical articles Wouters2 (talk) 15:45, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
