Risk Factors of Disease Progression in IgA Nephropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Objective IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an important cause of chronic renal failure, and nearly all patients with IgAN are at risk of developing to end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) during their lifetime. This meta‐analysis aimed to identify and evaluate risk factors associated with the progression of IgAN patients.

Alterations of podocytes in a murine model of crescentic glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Recent observations suggest a central role of podocytes in crescent formation. In experimental glomerulonephritis podocytes disrupt the parietal epithelial layer and attach on its basement membrane, thus forming bridges between the tuft and Bowman's ...

It is classified into three types based on immunoglobulin composition. Type I, a rare form, involves monoclonal IgM or IgG and is linked to lymphoproliferative disorders.

Familial vasculitides: granulomatosis with polyangitis and microscopic polyangitis in two brothers with differing anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody specificity [PDF]
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Although the aetiology of AAV is uncertain, it is likely that genetic and environmental factors contribute.
