IgA neuropathy is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the peripheral nerves, most commonly in the legs and feet. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- Autoimmune: In autoimmune diseases, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.
- IgA: This refers to immunoglobulin A, a type of antibody normally produced by the immune system to fight infections. In IGA neuropathy, however, these antibodies become deposited in the small blood vessels supplying nerves, causing inflammation and damage.
- Neuropathy: This refers to nerve damage, which can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the affected areas.
