A rare kidney disease that has no cure is Berger's disease also known as IgA nephropathy or IgAN.

Berger's disease or IgA nephropathy is an autoimmune disease in which abnormal antibodies attack your kidneys and cause damage and inflammation.

There's no cure for Berger's disease or IgA nephropathy although medications are available to help slow the disease progression down and control your blood pressure as well as manage your fluid levels which help to slow the progression of Berger's disease down.

Another rare kidney disease that has no cure is Alport syndrome which is a genetic disorder which affects your kidneys as well as your eyes and your ears.

While there's no cure for Alport syndrome, there are treatments available that can help to manage the symptoms.

Another rare kidney disease that also has no cure is Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome which causes blood clots to form in the kidneys, which can also lead to and cause kidney failure.

And although Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome has no cure there are treatments to help manage the condition.
