All specimens were processed for light microscopy (L.M) and immunoflourescence. Work-up revealed 21 patients to suffer a systemic glomerular disease and glomerular disease was found to be primery in 85 cases. Predominant IgG deposition was noted in 71 cases with primary glomerular disease and IgA deposition was predominant in 13 cases (15.5%) . Among patients with IgA nephropathy there were 11 males and 2 females, with a mean age of 31 ± 8.3 years (range 18-48). All except one were normotensive . There was neptuotic range proteinuria in 5 and elevated serum IgA in 9 cases. 24-hour proteinuria was significantly lower among those with IgA nephropathy(3 ± 2.03 g/day vs. 5.87 ± 0.45 g/day, p M3 ER -
