Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most commonly encountered glomerular disease in Asian countries. It has a broad clinical presentation, and it is frequently associated with other conditions. Chronic liver disease is well recognized as the leading cause of secondary IgAN. However, cases of IgAN associated with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have seldom been reported.
