Risk factors and outcomes of IgA nephropathy recurrence after kidney transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

IgA nephropathy may recur in patients receiving kidney transplantation due to IgA nephropathy induced renal failure. The risk factors for recurrence are still at issue. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess risk factors and outcomes for IgA nephropathy recurrence.

Methods

We used PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI, WanFang, VIP and CBM to search for relevant studies published in English and Chinese. Cohort or case-control studies reporting risk factors or outcomes for IgA nephropathy recurrence were included.

Results

Fifty-eight studies were included. Compare to no recurrence group, those with IgAN recurrence had younger age (mean difference [MD]=-4.27 years; risk ratio [RR]=0.96), y
