Resumen

La Nefropatía por IgA es una patología glomerular proliferativa mesangial, mediada por complejos inmunes, generada por el depósito de globulina tipo A; se considera la primera causa de glomérulonefritis primaria en el mundo. Se calcula que afecta al 1.3% de la población. Su incidencia es variable, pues se estima así: en Asia 29%, en Australia 12%, en Europa 10% y en Estados Unidos 10-15%. Es más frecuente en hombres que en mujeres con relación 6:1 a 10:1 y se presenta, principalmente, entre los 16 a los 40 años. Es una glomerulopatía que tiene curso clínico variable y que puede conducir a Insuficiencia Renal Terminal, con la consecuencia social y económica que ello implica. Actualmente, se tiene mayor conocimiento sobre su evolución, factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de falla renal terminal y nuevas alternativas terapéuticas. Por ellos, es importante establecer en este tipo de pacientes sus características clínicas e histopatológicas para determinar el comportamiento de la población con este diagnóstico y definir el manejo más adecuado, tanto en forma individual como colectiva.
