IgA nephropathy, what it is, diagnosis, causes, the course of the disease, follow up and treatment.
http://www.kidney.org.au/renal_resources/fact_sheets/iga_nephropathy.asp

Extractions: Glomerulonephritis is the commonest cause of kidney damage and failure of kidney function which may result in the need for dialysis(artificial kidney treatment) and/or a kidney transplant. There are many different types of glomerulonephritis but IgA Nephropathy is the most common type in Australia. It is found more often in males than females. About 10-30%of people with IgA Nephropathy have progressive deterioration of kidney function leading to what is called irreversible or end stage kidney (renal)failure. In Australia, 11% of all patients on dialysis have IgA Nephropathy. While IgA Nephropathy occurs in all age groups, it is usually diagnosed before the age of 30 years. It is common in children but the peak incidence is between 15-25 years. Usually, the passage of blood in the urine (macroscopichaematuria) making it coffee or tea coloured, is one of the signs for which the person sees a doctor. This is usually associated with a sore throat or respiratory infection or diarrhoea and vomiting, and may occur again in association with such infections. In some people who may have very few symptoms of severe illness, the only clue may be the finding of blood cells or protein or both (these are referred to as haematuria and proteinuria) in the urine on a routine urine test (urinalysis).
IGA Nephropathy, The Transplant
A personal story of Darryl who had this disease. From the beginning, to the diagnosis, the kidney transplant and the update.
http://www.geocities.com/albertja_48446

Extractions: The Parents After blood labs, ultra sound, and a kidney biopsy, our son was diagnosed with a kidney disease, IGA Nephropathy, March 1998. The nephrologist told us that our son had 48% kidney function. During this revelation, his creatinine was 2.1. Any creatinine level above 1.5 is possibly a kidney problem. Then, he was 22 years old. My husband, Darryl, and I sat there stunned. Usually, IGA is caused by some kind of respiratory infection. Our son did not have any kind of respiratory onset; although, in 1996 and 1997, Michigan State University had a meningitis epidemic. The doctor started him on prednisone and blood pressure medicine to maintain his kidneys and his high blood pressure. After six weeks, the nephrologist made us all an appointment with the Nephrology Department at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our son's girlfriend, Eileen, went with us, too. She and her family were great supporters.
IgA Nephropathy
From NIDDK a description of this disease along with some further resources.
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/kidney/summary/iganeph/iganeph.htm

Extractions: IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder caused by deposits of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the glomeruli (filters) within the kidney. These glomeruli (the singular form is glomerulus ) normally filter wastes and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. The IgA protein prevents this filtering process, leading to blood and protein in the urine and swelling in the hands and feet. This chronic kidney disease may progress over a period of 10 to 20 years. If this disorder leads to end-stage renal disease, the patient must go on dialysis or receive a kidney transplant. The IgA protein is a normal part of the body's system to protect against disease (the immune system). We do not know what causes IgA deposits in the glomeruli. But, since IgA nephropathy may run in families, genetic factors probably contribute to the disease. Kidney disease usually cannot be cured. Once the tiny filtering units are damaged, they cannot be repaired. Treatment focuses on slowing the progression of the disease and preventing complications. One complication is high blood pressure, which further damages glomeruli. Some patients may benefit from limiting protein in their diet to reduce the buildup of waste in the blood. Patients with IgA nephropathy often have high cholesterol. Reducing cholesterolthrough diet, medication, or bothappears to help slow the progression of IgA nephropathy.
Your Body's Design For Bladder Control
From the National kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, an article with images to help understand how the whole system works.
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/urolog/uibcw/design/design.htm

Extractions: Good bladder control sounds simple. Just hold on until you get to the bathroom. It sounds simple. But good bladder control takes teamwork from many organs, muscles, and nerves in your body. Most of your bladder control system lies inside the pelvis Stand with your hands on your hips. The bones under your hands are the pelvic bones. Your pelvis is shaped like a big bowl. Your hands lie on the rim of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl, between your legs, is muscle. The bladder is a muscle shaped like a balloon. It holds urine. The urethra (yoo-REE-thrah) is a tube from the bladder that drains urine out of the body. Two sphincter (SFINK-tur) muscles help the urethra open and close.

Extractions: Urology is the branch of medicine concerned with the urinary tract in both genders, and with the genital tract or reproductive system in the male. Urogenital is a word that refers to the urinary and genital organs. [The medical specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology specializes in the reproduction (genital) system of females. Nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with the kidneys.] According to the National Kidney Foundation, kidney and urologic diseases affect more than 13 million people (about 5 percent of the US population) and claim about 260,000 lives annually. The number of people affected by these diseases is expected to grow as the populations of older adults and racial and ethnic minorities, groups disproportionately affected by the diseases, increase. The most serious and debilitating of kidney and urinary tract diseases include: Other, non-related diseases have a tremendous impact on the disability and death associated with kidney and urologic diseases, including diabetes and hypertension.

Extractions: Karin Michels, Lead researcher of the Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts: "The most important thing I want to get out is they should eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables in spite of all these findings. ...fruits and vegetables definitely protect for other important diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and potentially other cancers. These are some of the best foods we can eat - there is no doubt about it." (the Journal of the National Cancer Institute)

Menopause And Bladder Control
An in depth look at this from the National kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse.
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/urolog/uibcw/menop/menop.htm

Extractions: Yes. Some women have bladder control problems after they stop having periods (menopause or change of life). If you are going through menopause, talk to your health care team. After your periods end, your body stops making the female hormone estrogen (ES-truh-jun). Estrogen controls how your body matures, your monthly periods, and body changes during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Estrogen also helps keep the lining of the bladder and the urethra (yoo-REE-thrah) plump and healthy. Lack of estrogen causes the bladder control muscles to get weak. Your doctor may give you medicine to replace estrogen to prevent future bladder control problems. Be sure to tell your doctor if you or your family has a history of cancer. If you face a high risk of cancer of the uterus or breast, the doctor may not prescribe estrogen.
