摘要
The clinical spectrum of immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis(IgAVN)ranges from the relatively common transitory microscopic hematuria and/or low-grade proteinuria to nephritic or nephrotic syndrome,rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis,or even renal failure.Clinical and experimental studies have shown a multifactor pathogenesis:Infection triggers,impaired glycosylation of IgA1,complement activation,Toll-like-receptor activation and B cell proliferation.This knowledge can identify IgAVN patients at a greater risk for adverse outcome and increase the evidence for treatment recommendations.
