ABSTRACT
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy in the presence of a metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty is a rare condition that requires close monitoring. A 61-year-old male with bilateral hip osteoarthritis underwent resurfacing hip arthroplasty with MoM articulating surfaces. Prior to his four-year postoperative visit, the patient was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy. During this visit, the patient reported clicking in the left resurfacing hip arthroplasty, and serum metal ions were significantly elevated. Consequently, the patient underwent conversion to bilateral ceramic-on-cross-linked polyethylene total hip arthroplasty, which resulted in the restoration of metal ion levels to normal. This case highlights that IgA nephropathy played a critical role in impeding the clearance of metal ions. Routine metal ion counts are warranted in patients with MoM articulating interfaces and a newly diagnosed nephropathy.
