Wcn26-225 From Rash to Renal Ruin: A Case Report on Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis Secondary to Immunoglobulin a Vasculitis in an Elderly Female

Key Points

This case report aims to highlight the occurrence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis secondary to IgA vasculitis in an elderly female.
Case examination of an elderly female with symptoms of glomerulonephritis
Analysis of medical history and potential drug-induced factors
Assessment of renal function and progression of disease
The patient developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis due to IgA vasculitis
Significant deterioration in renal function was observed
Indications of drug-induced immune responses were noted in the medical history

Abstract

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a common cause of glomerulonephritis that can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). IgA vasculitis, a systemic small vessel vasculitis, is a recognized secondary cause of IgAN. Although rare, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) can occur in the context of IgA vasculitis, with drug-induced immune responses implicated in some cases.
