This disease occurs due to abnormal immune reaction. When a person's immune system is weak, there will be abnormal immune response. During this course, massive immune complexes can be produced. These substances can enter into blood circulation, flowing in the whole body. Our kidney is a special organ to clean the blood. There is special antigen binding site, so immune complexes will deposit in kidney, causing inflammation. If no proper treatment is adopted, kidney function will be damaged gradually and renal function can decline. 1/4 of all patients with this disease eventually develop Kidney Failure.
