High levels of gut-homing immunoglobulin A-positive+B lymphocytes support the pathogenic role of intestinal mucosal hyperresponsiveness in immunoglobulin A nephropathy patients

Abstract

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most frequent primary glomerulonephritis. The role of the microbiota and mucosal immunity in the pathogenesis of IgAN remains a key element. To date, the hypothetical relationship between commensal bacteria, elevated tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily member 13 [also known as B-cell activating factor (BAFF)] levels, perturbed homoeostasis of intestinal-activated B cells and intestinal IgA class switch has not been clearly shown in IgAN patients.
