This bite-sized program on the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) delves into the four-hit hypothesis, the role of aberrant IgA-1 molecules, and the autoantibodies they attract. Learn how these complexes deposit in the kidneys, sparking inflammation and damage. Explore the symptoms of IgAN and key risk factors for disease progression. Lastly, gain insights into calculating risk and the critical importance of reducing proteinuria and slowing eGFR decline to improve patient outcomes.
