IgA Nephropathy and Reiter’s Syndrome

“…Behcet’s syndrome has been seen in conjunction with IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein purpura, as well as with focal proliferative glomerulonephritis, diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, crescentic glomerulonephritis, membranous glomerulopathy and focal segmental necrotizing glomerulonephritis [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]. Ankylosing spondylitis has previously been reported to occur with mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis both with and without IgA deposits, amyloid nephropathy and membranous glomerulopathy [13, 20, 21, 22].…”
