Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common primary forms of glomerulonephritis, while IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is the most common systemic vasculitis in children.
Objective: Herein we aimed to uncover single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with these two related diseases by applying association tests and Sanger sequencing.
Methods: Within the discovery stage, genomic DNA in blood samples from 101 enrolled patients were genotyped by the Korean Biobank Array.

In this special issue, Researchers and Specialist Registrars of University of Catania, Catanzaro and Messina (ITALY) focused on nephron-urological abnormalities in children, ranging from glomerular (nephrosic and Alport syndrome, chronic glomerulonephritis) and urologic diseases (multicystic dysplastic kidney, obstructive pathologies and stones). Particular attention was paid to congenital syndrome, such as Vacterl, Fabry and Goldenhar syndrome and acquired conditions such as Schoenlein-Henoch disease potentially leading to renal impairment. In addition, oxidative stress in newborns is involved in the progression of renal failure.

The rapid progressive glomerulonephritis is an emergency case. Renal function is rapidly lost within weeks or a few months (rarely within days) due to necrotizing extracapillary proliferative crescentic glomerulonephritis. Early diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis, as the best prognostic marker is creatinine when treatment is initiated.

Background And Objectives: High-quality epidemiologic data on the spectrum of biopsy-proven glomerular diseases among children are limited. This study aimed to determine the profile of and temporal change in biopsy-proven pediatric glomerular diseases in China.
Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: We previously conducted a nationwide kidney biopsy survey including 71,151 patients over an 11-year period from January 2004 to December 2014.

The Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a small vessel vasculitis with IgA immune complex deposition. The presentation in adults is rare and severe. Reported cases of HSP in patients infected with HIV are scarce.
