Article Synopsis
- Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a prevalent kidney condition in children and adolescents, and this study analyzed its clinical features and outcomes over the past 30 years in a sample of 1,154 patients in Korea.
- Of the patients studied, 5.6% progressed to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a 10-year CKD-free survival rate of 91.2% and a 20-year rate of 75.6%, showing no significant differences based on diagnosis date.
- The analysis indicated that symptoms like hematuria and proteinuria at diagnosis and lower renal function increased the risk of CKD progression, emphasizing the need for more proactive treatment in cases of pediatric IgAN. *
