Key Takeaways

IgA nephropathy involves IgA deposition in the glomerular mesangium, causing progressive renal damage and variable disease progression.
Persistent proteinuria, hypertension, and reduced GFR at diagnosis are key factors accelerating progression to ESRD.
Genetic predispositions and environmental factors may influence the rate of disease progression in IgA nephropathy.
Early identification and management of risk factors are essential to slow disease progression and improve patient outcomes.

Panelists discuss the progressive nature of immunoglobulin AIgA nephropathy (IgAN) and identify key factors that may accelerate its progression toward end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
