title: IgA nephropathy associated with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.
abstract: IgA nephropathy was found in three patients with celiac disease; two of them also had dermatitis herpetiformis. These observed associations widen the spectrum of the diseases that have been reported to coexist with IgA nephropathy. This study focused on the possible intestinal origin of the glomerulonephritis.
