Hi, Ginger,
I had IgA Nephropathy, a fairly non-aggressive case (at that’s what I think). No history of it in my family. Looking back, some symptoms from many years ago that were not well explained at the time have led me to believe I had this for many decades. A similar auto-immune mechanism also led to glaucoma and hearing loss but neither is serious at this time and I am under care for both. No signs of the IgAn returning after 2 years with a new kidney. So things are going well with me.
