Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was an international collaboration for renal biopsy registry, diagnosis standardization and cohort studies among Asian countries including China, Korea, Taiwan, Thai, Malaysia and Indonesia. Based on Japanese renal biopsy registry system, Taiwan has launched a new nation-wide renal biopsy registry, and Asian collaboration in renal biopsy registry and diagnosis standardization has been advanced through this study. In Japan, 1088 patients with IgA nephropathy were analyzed and superiority of tonsillectomy plus steroid pulse therapy was demonstrated. In nephrotic syndrome, cause and prognosis were analyzed. Asian collaboration in IgA nephropathy and nephrotic syndrome has started in this study and they are in progress.
It is expected that Japanese advanced clinical technologies and systems for renal diseases would serve to improve renal disease outcomes in Asia.
