Abstract

IgA nephropathy is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide, diagnosed 10% of renal biopsies in the United States, up to 20% in Europe and approximately 40% in Asia, the latter being the leading cause of ESRD in Asia.

Here we present an unusual case of a 64-yearold female presenting with IgA nephropathy induced by liver cirrhosis
