Renal outcomes in primary IgA nephropathy patients with segmental glomerular necrosis: a case –control study

The renal prognosis and treatment of primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with segmental glomerular necrosis (SGN) remain controversial. Patients with primary IgAN confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled. Patients with SGN on renal biopsy were selected as the necrosis group, and a propensity score matching method was used to match a control group according to age, gender, weight, height and follow-up time. A total of 825 IgAN patients were enrolled in the present study. Seventy-three (8.8%) patients with SGN were selected as the necrosis group, and 292 patients without SGN were matched as the control group.
