For someone with IgAN, kidney calcifications can be concerning and should be discussed with your nephrologist. While not all calcifications are dangerous, they may indicate:

Mineral metabolism changes
Past kidney inflammation
Possible kidney stones
The location and size of the calcification matters greatly. Your doctor can determine if it needs monitoring or treatment through additional imaging or tests. Don't hesitate to ask them about it at your next appointment!
