摘要:
A process for detecting presumed IgA nephropathy by detection of Treponema bacteria and/or Campylobacter bacteria present in a sample from the tonsil of a subject who, optionally, has a positive result in a urinary protein test and/or a urinary occult blood test, or whom is diagnosed with possible IgA nephropathy. Also, a process for detecting an IgA nephropathy patient for whom tonsillectomy is effective by detecting Treponema bacteria or Campylobacter bacteria.
摘要:
Based on detection of Treponema bacteria or Campylobacter bacteria present in a sample derived from the tonsil of a subject who has a positive result on at least one of a urinary protein test and a urinary occult blood test, or of a patient diagnosed with possible IgA nephropathy, presumed IgA nephropathy can be detected with a high accuracy, in a simple and quick manner without physical burden on subjects. Also, an IgA nephropathy patient for whom tonsillectomy is effective in therapy of IgA nephropathy can be selected with a high accuracy, in a simple and quick manner without physical burden on subjects.
