Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I was curious if anyone on this board knows of any adults that have had their IgAN go away. The reason I ask is that I came across a medical study indicating that 35 people with biopsy proven IgAN later had their hematuria disappear and most also had the proteinuria disappear. Also, repeat biopsy showed that certain types of glomerular inflammation were no longer there and, on some patients, IgA deposits had even disappeared completely. The 35 underwent " a treatment protocol involving high doses of methylprednisolone and tonsillectomy. " It doesn't say how many people underwent this treatment, but at least 35 apparently had these positive results.
