He then underwent a kidney biopsy that was consistent with HSP nephritis (immunoglobulin A (IgA) predominant glomerulonephritis with crescents), and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) that showed mucosal inflammation, ulcerations, and stigmata of bleeding-findings that were consistent with ischemia. The gene discussed is CD79A; the disease is glomerulonephritis.
