Non-IgA mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis

Waikhom et al studied clinicopathological features and outcome of 57 patients diagnosed with non-IgA mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (non-IgA GN). The majority of them presented with nephrotic syndrome and responded to steroid treatment. However, some patients progressed to late stage chronic kidney disease. The authors concluded that non-IgA GN may not be a benign entity as previously suggested in some studies.
