Introduction
IgAN, primary glomerular disease
PATHOGENESIS, IMMUNOGLOBULIN A NEPHROPATHY
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwideThe efficacy of immunosuppression in the management of IgAN remains highly controversialThe gut-kidney axis hypothesis has been supported by several studies over the past decades to underlie the pathogenesis of IgANAccordingly, we have conducted a prospective, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of budesonide (Budenofalk) treatment in patients with IgAN at high risk of progression.
