Proteinuria is a key marker of prognosis and disease severity in IgAN2,5,9,10
Proteinuria and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are joint contributors to glomerular disease progression2,5
Kidney function in IgAN
High proteinuria and declining eGFR are associated with an increased risk of disease progression in IgAN2,3
Slower decline in kidney function
Higher proteinuria levels are associated with a faster decline in eGFR;3,5 conversely, patients within normal proteinuria levels show a slower decline in eGFR2
Increased proteinuria was a stronger predictor of disease progression than a reduced eGFR2
Target proteinuria to slow progression to kidney failure
