A cross-sectional study in patients with IgA nephropathy of correlations between clinical data and pathological findings at the time of renal biopsy: a Japanese prospective cohort study

ConclusionIn all age cohorts of IgA nephropathy patients, daily proteinuria was correlated with all histological parameters, including both acute and chronic glomerular lesions, and the mesangial score. Independent variables for daily proteinuria were the meangial score, acute histological lesions, and segmental GS on MLRA, whereas the remaining independent variable in the pediatric group was endocapillary hypercellurality. The clinical pathological correlation at the time of biopsy varied depending on the age group.
