Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi Beth, Welcome to our site. I am guessing either you or a loved one has been diagnosed with IgAN, and so I am sorry you have reason to find our way here. However, if that is the case, you have come to the right place for information, support and encouragement. Welcome again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi beth, Your test worked ) I'm relatively new too but thought I'd say Hi.

Seriously .... I've found this place a power of help and hope you do too ) Dave > > > testing site > > Beth Meier - Broker Associate > bethmeier@c... > www.remax.com <http://www.remax.com/> > office: > fax: > direct: > mobile: > > > > _____ > > > <http://promos.hotbar.com/promos/promodll.dll?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Beth, I am not knowledgeable about Lupus Nephritis, but you are still welcome to hang around here. Cy's son does not have IgAN either and much of what we talk about is general kidney information. If there is a lupus nephritis site, you may find them a better source of information and support for lupus related topics, but is not, feel welcome to stay here with us.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply. I do not know anyone who has the same problems as me. But I am in stage 1 CKD and I have Lupus Nephritis. I was just diagnosed last year with Lupus and kidney damage. I am fortunate that it was diagnosed early. I do wonder what is going on in my kidneys as you can't tell without the test. Looking forward to being part of the group. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi , Seems like many kidney diseases have the same name but are caused by different things. Seem to be a lot of us out there. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Beth, I will never forget the beautiful, beautiful flowers sent to me when my son was first diagnosed with MPGN - from a woman who's daughter had lupus nephritis. I attended a meeting at Stanford with many lupus patients and from what I could piece together, the proliferative nature of lupus nephritis was almost identical to MPGN - which is is similar in many respects to IgAN. I know for us, it's easier to focus upon the similarities between different renal diseases (although, I admit, I didn't say that initially). Welcome to the list! I look forward to hearing form you.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hello Cy, Thanks for responding. I have learned a lot about Lupus, but it has so many different characteristics. My kidneys have always been weaker that normal. It is interesting that they are the organs that the lupus attacked. It is nice to know there are those out there who understand.
