Abstract
Introduction:
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy is the most prevalent form of primary glomerulonephritis.
Case presentation:
A 33-year-old military male presented with complaints of fever, headache, myalgia, chills, and haematuria for 10 years. His lab results showed elevated serum creatinine levels and proteinuria. A renal biopsy was done which was consistent with a diagnosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy. He was managed with antihypertensive, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, steroids and immunosuppressants, and Omega-3 fatty acids. There was remission of the symptoms and the patient’s serum creatinine and sonogram findings returned to baseline.
Conclusion:
Routine follow-up along with the appropriate use of medications can limit disease complications and progression.
