Abstract

 

 Cardiovascular events are less commonly described in glomerular disease. However, thromboembolic events are quite commonly reported in glomerular disease with nephrotic range proteinuria. Here, we report a case of a 29 years old male with IgA nephropathy present with central chest pain radiating to the jaw. He was under mycophenolate, prednisolone and losartan with remission of proteinuria for two months. ECG showed extensive ST segment elevation in V1- V6 leads. His cardiac troponins were elevated. Coronary angiography showed complete thrombotic occlusion of mid left anterior descending artery which was successfully recanalized after primary percutaneous intervention. Though less commonly reported in literature, such incidence of coronary events in IgA nephropathy can rarely present with acute myocardial infarction.
