IgA nephropathy stage 3, want to know the severity? Later severe

Patient's question:

Renal biopsy pathology diagnosis: consistent with focal proliferative IgA nephropathy, Lee grade: 3. Immunofluorescence: 1 antibody type in glomeruli - IgG: negative. IgM: . IgA: . C3: . C1q: negative. Deposition sites: diffuse, glomerular, mesangial. Deposition pattern: mass-like.

Doctor's answer:

Disease Analysis: IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, refers to a primary glomerulopathy characterized by the deposition of IgA or IgA in the glomerular mesangium, accompanied or not accompanied by the deposition of other immunoglobulins in the glomerular mesangium. Its clinical manifestations include: recurrent gross or microscopic hematuria, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of proteinuria. Some patients may also develop severe hypertension or renal insufficiency.
Advice: Did you have any renal function tests? Urinalysis? I recommend checking them to see. If there are no abnormalities in renal function, hematuria, or proteinuria, it is relatively mild.
