Patients with CN are more susceptible to recurrent viral infections, which can trigger IgAN attacks. In our case CS induced remarkable proteinuria remission. The use of G-CSF contributed to the resolution of severe neutropenic episodes, viral infections and concomitant AKI episodes, contributing to better prognosis of IgAN. Further studies are mandatory to determine whether there is a genetical predisposition for IgAN in children with CN.
