IgA nephropathy generally does not cause deafness unless ototoxic drugs are applied, etc.
IgA nephropathy is a chronic glomerulonephritis caused by abnormal deposition of immunoglobulin A in the glomerular plasma membrane area, which is pathologically characterized by plasma membrane hyperplasia and deposition of IgA-based immune complexes in the plasma membrane area.
The most important clinical manifestations of IgA nephropathy are hematuria or microscopic hematuria, accompanied by varying degrees of proteinuria, and the disease is chronic and progressive. IgA nephropathy does not cause deafness.
However, if patients with IgA nephropathy apply ototoxic drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, e.g. streptomycin, gentamicin, amikacin, etc., the patients may suffer from deafness and other side effects.
If patients with IgA nephropathy are deaf, they need to go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations under the guidance of a professional physician, clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
