Serum IgA in Children with Acute Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis

Elevated serum IgA levels have been reported in a variable percentage of patients affected by IgA nephropathy (1) but also in other glomerulopathies (2). Reports on IgA levels in patients affected by acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis (AGN) are scanty (3). We therefore undertook a retrospective study on serum levels of IgA in children with AGN admitted to our Service.
