Predicting IgA nephropathy progression is challenging. Mean arterial pressure and urinary protein levels over time are key indicators for estimating the rate of kidney function decline in patients with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease.
  • Predicting the long-term outcome of IgA nephropathy is difficult due to its variable clinical course.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of renal function decline in patients with IgA nephropathy.
  • To develop a method for estimating the rate of disease progression.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of demographic, clinical, laboratory, and histological data from 298 patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy.
  • Longitudinal assessment of creatinine clearance slope over a mean follow-up of 70 months.
  • Statistical analysis including univariate and multiple linear regression.

Main Results:

  • Urinary protein excretion and Lee pathological grading at baseline, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and urinary protein excretion during follow-up, were associated with renal function decline.
  • MAP and urinary protein excretion during follow-up were identified as independent prognostic factors.
  • An optimal prediction accuracy was achieved using these two parameters between years two and three of follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Mean arterial pressure and the severity of proteinuria over time are crucial prognostic indicators for IgA nephropathy.
  • A semiquantitative method for estimating disease progression rate based on these factors has been developed.
  • The findings have potential implications for patient management and clinical decision-making.
