The road ahead: emerging therapies for primary IgA nephropathy by Edward J. Filippone, Rakesh Gulati, John L. Farber

“…A slowly progressive disease presenting in the young to middle-aged, most patients with reduced eGFR or proteinuria will progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in their lifetimes. The pathogenesis involves increased production of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) that forms immune complexes that deposit in the glomerulus, eliciting mesangial cell proliferation, inflammation, and complement activation. …”
