  • Title: [IgA nephropathy - prognostic factors and treatment].
    Author: Wieliczko M, Dylewska M.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 2016; 69(5):707-710. PubMed ID: 28033590.
    Abstract:
    IgA nephropathy is the most common cause of primary glomerolunephritis. Patients who have isolated hematuria, little or no proteinuria (<0,5 g/d) and present with normal renal function usually have a low risk of progression. In patients with greater proteinuria and/or an elevation in the serum creatinine concentration, different rate of progression to end-stage renal disease has been observed. The approach to the management consists of nephroprotective therapies based on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, which aim to slow progression of kidney damage, and, in some patients, immunosuppression.
