Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
IgM nephropathy (IgMN) is still a largely controversial entity in the domain of primary glomerulopathies. It was initially identified and characterized by Western researchers in late 1970s. More recently, the disease is being increasingly reported from the developing countries. The etiology and pathogenesis of the condition are still largely unknown. More research is needed to address these unresolved issues of the disease.
