AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Fifty-six Irish patients with IgA Nephropathy were typed for HLA-A and -B antigens. Forty-six were typed for HLA-DR antigens. The frequencies of these antigens did not differ significantly from the frequency in the general population. The influence of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of this disease remains uncertain.

Alport syndrome: an update.
Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens
January 2025
The University of Melbourne Department of Medicine (Melbourne Health and Northern Health), Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, Victoria, AUSTRALIA.
Purpose Of Review: The recent widespread availability of genetic testing has resulted in the diagnosis of many more people with Alport syndrome. This increased recognition has been paralleled by advances in understanding clinical consequences, genotype-phenotype correlations and in the development of new therapies.
Recent Findings: These include the international call for a change of name to 'Alport spectrum' which better reflects the diverse clinical features seen with autosomal dominant and X-linked Alport syndrome; the demonstration of how common Alport syndrome is in people with haematuria, proteinuria, or kidney failure; the inability of current genetic testing to detect all pathogenic variants in suspected Alport syndrome; the different genotype-phenotype correlations for autosomal dominant and X-linked disease; and the novel treatments that are available including SGLT2 inhibitors for persistent albuminuria despite renin-angiotensin-aldosterone blockade, as well as early studies of gene-modifying agents.
Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis Due to IgA Nephropathy in a Patient With a Large Renal Mass.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common primary glomerulonephritis characterized by the deposition of IgA immune complexes within the glomerular mesangium. IgAN can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic hematuria to severe renal disease. This case describes a 67-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity who presented with acute kidney injury and clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome.

January 2025
Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shengli Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou, China.
Background: Dense deposit disease (DDD) is a rare renal disorder major affecting adolescents and children, characterized by an absence of distinctive clinical symptoms. Its coexistence with other renal conditions complicates both diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.
Case Presentation: We described a 15-year-old male adolescent presenting with nephrotic syndrome as the initial manifestation, with urinalysis indicating significantly elevated protein and erythrocytes.
Lifetime progression of IgA nephropathy: a retrospective cohort study with extended long-term follow-up.
BMC Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.
Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) exhibits an unpredictable trajectory, creating difficulties in prognostication, monitoring, treatment, and research planning. This study provides a comprehensive depiction of the progression of kidney function throughout the disease course, from diagnosis to a span of 36 years post-diagnosis.
Methods: We utilized a cohort of 400 Norwegian IgAN patients, from diagnosis to the occurrence of death, initiation of kidney replacement therapy (KRT), or the latest follow-up.
HDAC9-mediated deacetylation of CALML6 promotes excessive proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells in IgA nephropathy.
Clin Exp Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Chaohu Hospital of Anhui Medical University, No. 64 North Chaohu Road, Chaohu, Anhui, 238000, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study seeks to investigate the fundamental molecular processes through which histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) governs the proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells in the context of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and to identify novel targets for clinical research on IgAN.
Methods: Data from high-throughput RNA sequencing for IgAN were procured from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to assess the expression profiles and clinical diagnostic significance of histone deacetylase family proteins (HDACs). Blood samples from 20 IgAN patients were employed in RT-qPCR analysis, and the spearman linear regression method was utilized to analyze the clinical correlation.
