Concurrent IgA Nephropathy and Membranous Nephropathy, Is It an Overlap Syndrome?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and membranous nephropathy (MN) are common glomerulonephritis, the presence of which in the same patient– concurrent of IgAN and MN (cIgAN/MN) has been described occasionally.

A Functional Variant rs3093023 in CCR6 Is Associated With IgA Nephropathy by Regulating Th17 Cells in a North Han Chinese Population

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
C-C chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) is a susceptibility gene of various immune-related diseases, which was suggested to be shared with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). In this study, we aimed to identify the functional variants.

Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis Reveals Different Immunity but Shared Renal Pathology Between IgA Nephropathy and Lupus Nephritis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Both IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and lupus nephritis (LN) are immunity-related diseases with a complex, polygenic, and pleiotropic genetic architecture. However, the mechanism by which the genetic variants impart immunity or renal dysfunction remains to be ...

Plasma Homocysteine as a Potential Marker of Early Renal Function Decline in IgA Nephropathy

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is very common among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and related to the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in these patients. However, the prevalence of HHcy in primary causes of CKD and its role in kidney
