Damage is caused in the kidney by the abnormal buildup of a protein (IgA). Research suggests that this is due to an autoimmune disorder (involving the body's immune system). What starts the disease in motion is not yet known. The kidney can become so damaged that it stops working. To prevent this you can change your diet and fish oil can help. ]]> 2016-12-06 01:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/carliecraig7/9khksrget3zq/wish/141913948
