Is Bald Spot On Head A Symptom Of Iga Nephropathy ?
My son was diagnosed with Iga Nephropathy at age 16. He was taking Predisone up until he was 17. He's now 18 and has developed a bald spot on the left side of his head. It started out small but has now grown about the size of a nickel. Could this be a result of his diagnosis?

No there is no relation between the IgA nephropathy and features you described. Iga nephropathy commonly associates with liver problems. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
