This is my second presentation
on IgA Nephropathy.
I'm Professor Salvadori
from the University of Florence.

This time
I will discuss with you
the second part
of IgA nephropathy.
That is
the clinical presentation,
the diagnosis, the prognosis
and finally the treatment.
This will be the agenda
of my presentation.
But let me start
with the clinical presentation.
0:36
Overall there are
five different categories
of patients that are affected
by IgA nephropathy
with different
clinical presentations.
There are patients
who are diagnosed accidentally,
with no symptoms.
Patients affected
by a recurrent
macroscopic hematuria.
Patients with rapidly
progressive renal disease.
Patients with
IgA nephropathy recurrence
after kidney transplantation.
And finally,
patients
with acute kidney injury
due to macroscopic hematuria.
1:18
Patients diagnosed accidentally,
they are often found
while looking
for clinical manifestations
such as reduced a
glomerular filtration rate,
hypertension,
or urinary abnormalities.
These patients represent
the silent majority.
1:39
The second patients
are those affected
by macroscopic hematuria.
Patients affected
by macroscopic hematuria,
often recur the hematuria
after acute infective disease,
occurred in
the upper respiratory tract.
These patients are called
the typical IgA
nephropathy patients.
