IgA Nephritis in a Patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report and Mini Review

Abstract

Ankylosing Spondylitis AS is an inflammatory disease characterized by involvement of the spinal joints and adjacent structures leading to bone fusion. Although secondary amyloidosis is the most common renal involvement type in AS, there are few reports regarding to other glomerular disorders including association of IgA nephritis with AS. We present a 24-yearold male patient that admitted with intermittent hematuria and proteinuria while he was followed up for AS disease and diagnosed as chronic IgA nephritis by renal biopsy
