Abstract

A case of mesangial IgM nephropathy associated with chronic renal failure is described. The patient did not reveal nephrotic syndrome during the clinical course. Renal biopsy specimens revealed typical features of mesangial IgM nephropathy when studied by light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining. Mesangial IgM nephropathy is considered to be a heterogenous disorder, because this disorder is clinically characterized by nephrotic syndrome, mild proteinuria and/or hematuria or renal failure.
