Match the Column-I (Causative agent) with Column-II (Disease).
IgA nephropathy is a common cause of chronic renal disease. It affects the glomeruli, which are the tiny filters in the kidneys. The pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy involves the deposition of IgA antibodies in the glomeruli, leading to inflammation and damage. This condition can progress to chronic kidney disease and may eventually result in renal failure. It is important to compare the effects of acute and chronic renal failure, as they have different clinical presentations and treatment approaches. The diagnosis of IgA nephropathy is made through a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and kidney biopsy.
