[edit] could
could this be titled 'iga nephropathy'? i agree that iga nephritis is more accurate, however (i believe) the former is the term used more commonly, esp in north america/india. for the heck of it, i typed both in google, nephropathy had 219000 whereas nephritis 115000!Hswapnil 01:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- Very good work! The article was already pretty technical. Where possible, those sections relevant for the general public may need more explanatory material in brackets. Apart from the O-glycosylation hypothesis, are you aware of any other pathogenetic theories?
- Would you be able to convince your local pathology department to provide a biopsy slide of mesangial proliferation, or perhaps an immunofluorescence picture of mesangial IgA deposition? JFW | T@lk 06:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] redirected from Buerger's disease and the text says this:
This should not be confused with Buerger's disease, an unrelated condition.
How embarassing. Someone with some knowledge ( as opposed to one like myself in search of knowledge) should fix this.
[edit] Biopsy classification
PMID 17495432 - an international working group is scoring biopsy features to establish a systematic pathological classification of IgA nephropathy. JFW | T@lk 21:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External links
External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience. Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.
The following kinds of links are inappropriate:
- Online discussion groups or chat forums
- Personal webpages and blogs
- Multiple links to the same website
- Fundraising events or groups
- Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
- Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)
I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

doi:10.1172/JCI33189 - premature IgA1 O-sialylation seems to be a feature. JFW | T@lk 11:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
