Abstract
- IgA nephropathy(IgAN) is the most frequent primary glomerular disease in many countries, including Korea. The typical clinical manifestation of IgAN is synpharygitic gross hematuria, which is usually innocuous for the renal function. Some patients who developed acute renal failure coinciding with episodes of gross hematuria are rarely observed in IgAN. We have observed a 29-year-old male patient with IgAN in whom the duration of gross hematuria(total 28 days) was clearly longer than usual, inducing anemia. We report a case of IgAN associated with anemia due to persistent gross hematuria and a brief review of the literature.
