Abstract Background and Aims In IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which is characterized by mesangial accumulation, there the formation of circulating autoantibodies against galactose deficient IgA1s (Gd-IgA1). IgG / Gd-IgA1 immunocomplexes accumulate in glomerular mesangium play a role pathogenesis IgAN. Recent studies have suggested relationship between deposition severity inflammation. However, detection presence routine immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) may fail. This study aims to investigate...
