Overview
Patients with IgA nephropathy usually appear normal and usually have no significant clinical finding upon physical examination. However, some of the patients may present with low-grade fever, high blood pressure with normal pulse pressure, and pitting edema of the lower extremities in the late stage if the patient develops ESRD.
