Abstract:

IgA nephropathy is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. IgA nephropathy presents different clinical and histologic features. Use of glucocorticoids is the cornerstone of management for IgA nephropathy. Glucocorticoids reduce proteinuria and risk of end-stage renal disease, and improve the prognosis of patients with advanced IgA nephropathy.

Key words: IgA nephropathy, Glucocorticoids, Prognosis
