The study's goal is to describe forthcoming novel OCT and Humphrey visual field discoveries. Patients with IgA nephropathy (25-30%) develop end-stage renal disease within 20 years of diagnosis, but there is a lack of information and evaluation regarding visual disturbances. Here, we present a known IgAN patient with associated visual haziness who presented to our ophthalmology department [1].
A 20-year-old
female patient who had previously been treated for skin rashes, hematuria, and
abdominal pain 8 months ago reported vision disruption in her right eye for the
past week. A clinical diagnosis of IgA nephropathy was deduced from skin biopsy
findings of leukocytoclastic vasculitis and renal biopsy findings of glomerular
mesangial cell hyperplasia.
In addition to
early symptoms of papilledema, proteinuria appeared one month after
administration of prednisolone 50 mg/day tapered for eight months. Visual
acuity of 6/9 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left eye with normal colour
vision were observed. Traditionally, hyperreflective powerful echoes in the
optic disc were observed on OCT, while inferior hemifield abnormalities were
found largely in the right eye on HFA.
