IgA nephropathy is a common cause of glomerulonephritis in adults. While many patients remain stable, a significant minority progress to end-stage renal disease, highlighting the need for monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Immunology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a primary glomerulonephritis.
  • Understanding its prevalence and clinical course is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics, pathological findings, and outcomes of IgA nephropathy in adults.
  • To determine the progression rate to end-stage renal disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 649 adult patients with primary glomerulonephritis.
  • Evaluation of clinical presentation, light microscopy, and immunofluorescence findings.
  • Follow-up assessment of renal function and disease progression.

Main Results:

  • IgA nephropathy identified in 9.6% of patients.
  • Hypertension (51.6%), renal failure (32.3%), nephrotic presentation (22.6%), and hematuria (17.7%) were common.
  • Mesangial hypercellularity and matrix expansion were frequent histological findings.
  • IgA deposition confirmed in all cases; C3, IgM, and IgG co-deposition observed.
  • End-stage renal disease developed in 7.9% of patients during a mean follow-up of 17.3 months.

Conclusions:

  • IgA nephropathy is a significant contributor to adult glomerulonephritis.
  • Clinical and histological features vary, with a notable risk of progression to renal failure.
  • Long-term monitoring is essential for identifying patients at risk of disease progression.
