Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of electron-dense deposits in the glomerulus, ruling out DDD. The patient was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), achieving clinical remission with spontaneous disappearance of the proteinuria and haematuria, but maintaining decreased serum levels of C3 (33<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/dl) and increased serum IgA (353<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/dl).</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">APL is a rare disease of uncertain aetiology.

In the mesangial deposits, it is common to find components of the ACP (C3 and properdin), but not of the classic pathway (C1q and C4) which, taken together with normal serum C3 and other complement components, suggests that the complement activation occurs in the kidney itself.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To summarise, we present the first reported case of APL associated to IgAN. Although, given the incidence of IgAN, it could be a coincidence, the fact that the APL is often associated with nephropathy, the DDD, whose pathogenesis, like IgAN, involves activation of the ACP, raises the possibility of a common link between the two diseases.</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack261807" "titulo" => "Acknowledgements" ] 2 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: de Lucas-Collantes C, Pozo-Román J, Aparicio-López C, de Prada-Vicente I, Argente J.
