Characteristics of renal pathology and coagulation function in IgA nephropathy and IgA vasculitis associated nephritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and pathological differences between patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and IgA vasculitis associated nephritis (IgAVN).

Methods

A total of 253 patients with IgAN and 71 patients with IgAVN were retrospectively included in the study, and clinical and laboratory data were collected and analysed.

Results

Compared with IgAVN group, months from onset to kidney biopsy were significantly prolonged in IgAN patients because of the lack of obvious symptoms such as rash, abdominal symptoms, and joint pain (13.5 ± 26.6 vs. 10.2 ± 31.6 months, P = 0.007), and the levels of serum creatinine (92.3 ± 94.7 vs. 68.9 ± 69.2 µmol/L, P = 0.015) was higher and eGFR (99.1 ± 35.2 vs. 123.4 ± 41.8 mL/min/1.73m²
