| | What IgAN is (a summary) |
| | IgAN patients who have a particularly "weakened immune system" may have it for other reasons than the IgAN. | | | People have considered allergies, things they may have been exposed to, foods, occupations, blood types, etc. So far, hundreds if not thousands have not been able to identify any such link. | | | It is not an autoimmune disease in the classic sense of that term, but it does involve the immune system. |
