IgA XXXX in the triethnic population of New Mexico.

@entity1 @entity644 @entity8 @entity628 @entity6994 @entity1985 @entity631
AIMS: IgA @entity8 ( @entity6994 ) is the most frequent @entity631 around the globe, but its incidence in the United States is unknown. The disease has a preponderance for certain racial/ethnic groups. Our goals were to retrospectively analyze a series of @entity6994 biopsies from the state of New Mexico and to calculate an estimated incidence. Then we compared the racial/ethnic composition of our @entity1 cohort to the composition of the New Mexico population and examined the three main racial/ethnic groups for differences in clinical and pathologic parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Renal biopsies and clinical data from @entity6994 cases newly diagnosed in New Mexico between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed. We compared the racial/ethnic composition of our @entity1 cohort to the demographic composition of the New Mexico population. Demographic, clinical, and histopathologic variables were analyzed with respect to the @entity1 ' race/ethnicity. RESULTS: The incidence of @entity6994 in New Mexico was 10.2 cases per million @entity1 per year (9.3 when Henoch-Sch  nlein purpura cases were excluded). American Indians were twice as frequent in our @entity1 cohort when compared to their demographic representation, with the reverse finding for Non-Hispanic Whites. Hispanics more frequently had @entity1985 range @entity644 than Non-Hispanic Whites and American Indians. On renal biopsy, endocapillary proliferative @entity631 was the most common @entity8 , followed by the @entity628 ( @entity628 )-like pattern. The @entity628 -like pattern was more frequent in American Indians and Hispanics than in Non-Hispanic Whites. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of an incidence figure of @entity6994 for an entire state in the US. American Indian and Hispanic @entity1 had a stronger representation in our cohort than Non-Hispanic Whites, when compared to the general New Mexico population.
