Article Synopsis
- Tonsillectomy is a treatment option for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), but its effectiveness in relation to the size of palatine tonsils is debated.
- A study involving 57 IgAN patients who had tonsillectomy with steroid therapy showed no significant difference in clinical remission rates between those with enlarged tonsils and those without.
- The key predictor for clinical remission was baseline proteinuria, suggesting that the size of the tonsils should not influence the decision to perform tonsillectomy in these patients.
