| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to clarify appropriate treatment strategies in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), we established a new data collection system consists of multidisciplinary teams and have collected 1840 patients who diagnosed IgAN by renal biopsy from 4 hospitals.
The 10-year survival in IgAN patients has been improving by decades, which may be associated with the widespread of tonsillectomy plus steroid pulse therapy (TSP) in 2000s. Patients with TSP had better renal outcome than other therapies in patients with massive proteinuria (≧1.0 g/gCr), and similar finding was observed in CKDG4 patients with proteinuria≧0.5g/gCre. We also found by propensity-matched analyses that the number of steroid pulse in TSP was associated with renal outcome. In addition, remission of urinary protein at 1 year may predict renal outcome. All these findings may serve further studies for treatments of IgAN.
