Long-term renal survival and undetected risk factors of IgA nephropathy in Chinese children-a retrospective 1243 cases analysis from single centre experience.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report that the 15-year renal survival rate of children with IgAN in China was 84%. At the same time, this is the first study to reveal that urinary RBP ≥ 0.7µg/ml may indicate a poor renal outcome. In addition, this study supports immunosuppressive therapy for IgAN children had both proteinuria ≥1 g/day and initial eGFR > 50 ml/min/1.73m2.
