Is Anyone Here With Igan?
Posted: 01-25-06 21:58pm

Protein and micro blood found in my urine. I had kidney biopsy last year and resulted I have igan deposits. I suffer from chronic upper respiratory problems such as nasal inflammation and chest congestion sometimes asthma, is this connected to my kidney? But my kidney functions are normal. If anyone like to share their story please do so.

Hi there...I have igan. I was diagnosed in 1985 via a kidney biopsy. In 1992 I got secondary hypertension due to my kidney disease. I didn't really understand what it meant before but I am now at the end of it and will be getting a kidney transplant next month. Some people with igan never progress to failure but if your creatinine jumps past two, chances are you'll end up with kidney failure. Did you just get diagnosed?
