Optimal supportive therapy with BP and proteinuria control is pivotal in treating patients with IgA nephropathy. Suboptimal treatment of hypertension and proteinuria persisted in many patients with IgA nephropathy in the Cure Glomerulonephropathy Network study. Many patients had above-target proteinuria despite optimal BP control and may benefit from novel therapies or clinical trials.

Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, is increasingly recognized for its association with kidney disease. However, the impact of metabolic syndrome on the long-term prognosis of IgA nephropathy(IgAN) remains understudied. From August 2009 to December 2018, we conducted a retrospective cohort study at the Department of Nephrology, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, involving 698 patients with primary IgAN identified by the initial renal biopsy.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 22 patients diagnosed with primary IgAN who received RTX treatment. The clinical data, including blood tests, urine examinations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were analyzed at four time point: baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Background: There is a lack of evidence to suggest that outcomes of adolescent and adult-onset glomerular disease differ. Still, most glomerular disease trials include adults but exclude adolescents.
Methods: We designed a retrospective study using the CureGN database to compare individuals with adolescent-onset glomerular disease relative to individuals with older and younger age at onset.

Introduction: To evaluate the impact of TACI fusion protein (TACI-Ig) on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in rats, and to explore its mechanism and relationship with TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
Method: Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were divided into six groups: control, model, TACI-Ig low dose (TACI-Ig-L), medium dose (TACI-Ig-M), high dose (TACI-Ig-H), and prednisone acetate (PAT) group. The control group and model group received physiological saline injections, while the TACI-Ig groups were administered doses of 7.

Introduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most prevalent forms of glomerulonephritis worldwide, particularly affecting 40-50% of the East Asian population. Cardiovascular mortality represents a leading cause of death in patients with IgAN. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) serves as a predictor of heart failure and cardiovascular mortality.
