    Patients with IgA nephritis and nephrotic range proteinuria show more severe disease from the start. This indicates a more aggressive form of IgA nephritis, not just a result of long-term illness.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • IgA nephritis is a common glomerulonephritis.
    • Nephrotic range proteinuria is rare in IgA nephritis.
    • Understanding clinical and pathological differences is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare clinical and pathological features of IgA nephritis with and without nephrotic range proteinuria.
    • To identify factors associated with nephrotic range proteinuria in IgA nephritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective comparison of 63 non-nephrotic patients with 8 nephrotic patients with IgA nephritis.
    • Analysis of clinical data and kidney biopsy findings.
    • Assessment of serum creatinine levels during follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in age or disease duration at diagnosis between groups.
    • Nephrotic range proteinuria associated with glomerular hyalinization, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, foot process effacement, and mesangial matrix increase.
    • Elevated serum creatinine on follow-up was more common in nephrotic patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Nephrotic range proteinuria in IgA nephritis suggests a more severe disease phenotype at onset.
    • Proteinuria severity reflects underlying pathology rather than solely disease duration.
