Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Liver problem is almost always presenting with abnormal liver function tests (enzymes and function) and abnormal liver ultrasound.. Increased serum gamma and beta globulin may be present in liver disease but they are non specific. There is possible relationship between liver disease and IgA nephropathy but not common. IgA is elevated in 50% of patients with IgA nephropathy.
