RESUMO
Alcohol ingestion is considered as a possible pathogenic agent for Berger's disease, since IgA mesangial deposits have been described in liver cirrhosis. Aiming to assess this issue, 28 patients with Berger's disease (BD) and 40 patients with other glomerulopathies (NBD) were subjected to an enquiry about alcohol ingestion. Data was corroborated with 21 closed relatives of BD patients and 34 relatives of NBD patients. No differences were observed in report alcohol intake between BD patients and their relatives, however relatives of NBD patients understimated their alcohol intake. No differences in alcohol intake, either self reported or reported by relatives, were observed between BD and NBD patients. It is concluded that no differences in alcohol intake were observed between patients with Berger's disease and subjects with other glomerulopathies
