  • Title: Modulating the progression in IgA nephropathy.
    Author: Chan JC, Trachtman H.
    Journal: Nephron Clin Pract; 2006; 104(1):c61-8. PubMed ID: 16741372.
    Abstract:
    IgA nephropathy affects almost 1% of the population and yet the diagnosis is often missed. This significant kidney disease is often progressive with 25% of the patients going on to end-stage kidney disease over the course of 25 years. This minireview describes the clinical presentations in children and young adults. Therapeutic options are discussed including angiotensin-converting enzyme blockade, steroids, cytotoxics, tonsillectomy, fish oil, vitamin E, singly or in combination, in order to modulate the rate of progression.
