Panelists discuss how immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy represents a complex glomerular disease characterized by IgA deposition in the mesangium, with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from benign hematuria to progressive kidney failure requiring comprehensive management strategies.
IgA Nephropathy: Pathogenesis and the 4-Hit Cascade
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by the deposition of IgA1-containing immune complexes in the glomerular mesangium. The pathogenesis follows a 4-hit cascade:
4-Hit Cascade
Role of APRIL and Cytokines
A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL):
Key Cytokines in IgAN Pathogenesis:
These cytokines create a proinflammatory environment that perpetuates kidney injury and progressive loss of renal function in patients with IgAN.
