ABSTRACT
The pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy is unknown, but the systemic character of the IgA deposits (skin and glomerular capillaries), the presence of circulating IgG and IgA complexes and its similarity to Henoch-Schonlein purpura suggest that it is an immune-complex mediated disease. The nature and source of the antigen are unknown. Anatomically, the extremely vascular uvea offers a favorable site for the interplay of various components of immune reaction. We have experienced a 21-year old male who had a choroiditis and IgA nephropathy and had suffered the Henoch-Schonlein purpura when he was 16-years old. We performed the choroidal aspiration and scleral buckling, but steroid and other specific therapy were not given. In the course of follow-up check, the choroidal lesion and hematuria were progressively subsided. In conclusion, we report that the choroiditis is manifested as a part of immunecomplex mediated disease associated with IgA nephropathy.
