The low serum C3, high C4, elevated CH50, suggests complement activation in endothelial and mesangial from IgG-IgA complexes known to occur in IgAN. This phenotype of IgAN with TMA may represent a more unique IgAN phenotype with a more severe clinical course and be indicative of underlying complement dysregulation.<\/jats:p>\n
