Two patients with IgA nephropathy and a patient with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis each associated with anterior uveitis are described. As anterior uveitis accompanying IgA nephropathy improved, renal manifestations were relieved. The patient with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis suffered from not only anterior uveitis but also keratitis. It is suggested that immune mechanisms which induce IgA nephropathy may play a role in the development of anterior uveitis and keratitis.
