KM55 in the evaluation of IgA containing glomerular diseases
Introduction: Mucosal derived galactose deficient IgA is central to the pathogenesis of primary IgA nephropathy. Recent reports suggest similar pathogenesis in Henoch Schonlein purpura and secondary IgA nephropathy. Its role in other IgA containing glomerular diseases is still under investigation. I...

Recent reports suggest similar pathogenesis in Henoch Schonlein purpura and secondary IgA nephropathy. Its role in other IgA containing glomerular diseases is still under investigation.

Results: The group of primary IgA Nephropathy (17 cases), Henoch Schonlein purpura (4 cases) and secondary IgA nephropathy (19 cases) including chronic liver disease showed 2 -3+ granular staining with KM55 suggesting mucosal derived IgA.
