Idiopathic IgA nephropathy treatment varied. Immunosuppressive drugs are recommended for progressive cases with high serum creatinine, while other therapies showed no significant benefit.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Idiopathic IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common primary glomerulonephritis.
  • Long-term outcomes and optimal treatment strategies for IgAN remain areas of active research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of different therapeutic regimens in patients with idiopathic IgA nephropathy.
  • To identify predictors of kidney function decline and survival in IgAN.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 33 IgAN patients was followed for an average of 90.8 months.
  • Four treatment groups were analyzed: symptomatic therapy, immunosuppressants, dipyridamole with aspirin, and thymosin.
  • Kidney function parameters, including serum creatinine, were monitored throughout the study.

Main Results:

  • No significant benefit was observed with thymosin, aspirin, or dipyridamole therapy.
  • Frequent fluctuations in serum creatinine were noted in most patients.
  • Cumulative kidney survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were 1.00, 0.90, and 0.82, respectively.

Conclusions:

  • Immunosuppressive drugs are recommended for IgAN patients with steadily progressive disease and serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dl.
  • Current evidence does not support the use of thymosin, aspirin, or dipyridamole for IgAN treatment.
  • Further research is needed to optimize IgAN management and improve long-term renal outcomes.
