Value of biomarkers for predicting immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis outcome in an adult prospective cohort

Abstract

Taken together, these results showed that serum Gd-IgA1 and urinary IgA, IgG, IgM, NGAL, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IgA-IgG and IgA-sCD89 complexes were associated with nephritis in IgAV patients. Urinary IgA level may improve patient risk stratification for poor outcome.
