A 14-year-old boy who had had a splenectomy at the age of 2 years for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, suffered from IgA nephropathy. Serum IgA and IgE levels were elevated and low levels of circulating immune complexes were detected. Splenectomy may play a role in the pathogenesis or susceptibility to IgA nephropathy by means of decreased clearance of circulating immune complexes or impaired immune regulation, such as increased IgA synthesis.
一名14岁男孩,2岁时因特发性血小板减少性紫癜接受了脾切除术,现患有IgA肾病。血清IgA和IgE水平升高,检测到循环免疫复合物水平较低。脾切除术可能通过降低循环免疫复合物的清除率或损害免疫调节(如IgA合成增加),在IgA肾病的发病机制或易感性中发挥作用。
