| Popis: | Immunoglobulin (Ig) A glomerulonephritis (GN) is a heterogeneous disease affected by various factors. Genetic and other factors “hit” DNA, causing IgA malformation and ultimately glomerular injury. We describe a rare case of crescentic IgA GN with sternoclavicular (SC) arthritis in a 75-year-old woman. Despite active IgA GN with cellular crescents, the patient achieved remission of IgA GN without glucocorticoid therapy after remission of SC arthritis was achieved. Considering the patient’s clinical course, this case suggested a relationship between IgA GN and SC arthritis. |
