    This study analyzed 25 kidney biopsies with IgA deposition, revealing mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis as the most common type. The presence of focal global sclerosis and capsular crescents indicates an unfavorable prognosis in IgA nephropathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pathology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a common cause of glomerulonephritis.
    • Understanding the spectrum of structural changes and their clinical implications is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correlate structural changes observed in renal biopsies with significant glomerular IgA deposition with clinical data.
    • To identify morphological features associated with prognosis in IgA nephropathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Light and electron microscopy were used to examine 25 renal biopsy specimens.
    • Immunofluorescence confirmed significant glomerular IgA deposition.
    • Clinical data was correlated with histopathological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was the predominant finding (60%).
    • Focal segmental sclerosis was observed in 60% of mesangial proliferative cases.
    • Capsular crescents were present in 7 cases, and focal global sclerosis in 10 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The presence of focal global sclerosis and capsular crescents, especially when co-occurring, signifies an unfavorable prognosis in IgA nephropathy.
    • Clinicopathological correlation is essential for predicting outcomes in patients with IgA nephropathy.
