Berger's Disease (IgA Nephropathy)

IgA Nephropathy is a kidney disease that appears be associated with genetic factors and eating gluten. Doctor Weyrich notes that this appears to be an autoimmune process, since a number of other diseases that appear to have an autoimmune etiology are also associated with gluten sensitivity that is linked to the HLA gene complex. Since some of these other disorders respond favorably to Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), Dr. Weyrich suspects that patients suffering from Berger's Disease might also benefit from LDN.
