Haptoglobin phenotype among patients with IgA nephropathy: Impact on disease progression and response to treatment.

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of Hp 1-1 phenotype is higher in IgAN patients than in the general population in Israel, and even more than in patients with CKD or subjects on hemodialysis. Patients with Hp 2-2 exhibited a better renal response to the routine therapies. PMID: 32909539 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
