Filter by:The investigators are registering all biopsy-proven primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients at recruited hospitals and developing a IgAN database in China. Patients will be follow-up every one year, and both baseline and follow-up information will be entered into the registration system. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality and a composite renal outcome of doubling of serum creatinine and end stage renal failure (ESRD, defined as initiation of dialysis or kidney transplantation) of IgAN patients will be compared using the IgAN database.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of that test group was administered with Mycophenolate Mofetil in combination with corticosteroid in patients with advanced IgA nephropathy. The control group will be observed for up to 48 weeks without administration of Mycophenolate Mofetil.
This prospective cohort study is designed to examine the association between blood and urine biomarkers (including genetic variants) and long-term kidney disease progression among 2000 Chinese IgA nephropathy patients with relatively normal kidney function (eGFR≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2).
Primitive kidney disease IgA, represented by Berger's disease and rheumatoid purpura nephropathy, are the first cause of kidney failure from chronic glomerulonephritis: changes in 20 years to end-stage renal failure is described in 10 to 30 % of cases in Berger's disease and in 15 to 20% of cases in nephropathy HSP. These two pathological entities share biological and histological characteristics, as well as common pathophysiological mechanisms, particularly the production of abnormally glycosylated IgA1 promoting their proliferation in the mesangium. Tonsils part of Iga abnormal production sites that would be associated with an infectious stimulus, tonsillectomy has been studied as a possible treatment in primitive IgA nephropathy. The benefit of tonsillectomy is controversial: many Japanese studies demonstrate its effectiveness in terms of reduction of proteinuria, improved renal function in the long term regression of histological lesions and reduced risk of relapse following clinical remission whereas European studies do not suggest its effectiveness in treating IgA nephropathy. In this context, the aim of our study is to describe the scope of practice of tonsillectomy in the treatment of primary renal disease in IgA child in the inter East region and describe the short renal become Strasbourg end of the cohort that received this treatment.
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis in the world.There is to date no curative therapy for patients with IgAN.It is considered that dendritic cells, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 and cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-alpha (IFN-a) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), play an important role in the aberrant mucosal response. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial agent and had a notable impact on immune activation by the reduction of circulating activated immune cells that including decreased TLR-expressing cells, reduced IFN-secreting plasmacytoid dendritic cells, reduced production of inflammatory cytokines including interferon alpha, IL-6 and TNF alpha. Recent studies showed hydroxychloroquine had a benefit for renal remission and could retard the onset of renal damage in patients with lupus nephritis. hydroxychloroquine may have the potential effect in IgA nephropathy, alleviated the proteinuria and had the renal protect effect. This will be a single center, prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess the utility of hydroxychloroquine in IgAN patients.
Currently, the treatment options of recurrent IgA nephropathy (IgAN) are conflicting and largely based on expert opinions. Consequently, the recent KDIGO clinical practice guideline for the care of kidney transplant recipients has concluded that there are no definite strategies for prevention and treatment. However, recurrent IgAN in the transplanted kidney is common and may contribute to graft loss, in particular, if cresentic formation, extra- or endocapillary proliferation were presented in kidney pathology. Herein, the investigators assume that rituximab, anti-CD20 Ab agent, can reduce circulating IgA with subsequently decrease rate of polymeric forms of IgA deposition in glomerular capillaries. Therefore, the investigators speculate that rituximab may have potential effect to reduce circulating polymeric forms of IgA and slow progression of recurrent IgAN.
-IgA nephropathy is the most common primary glomerular disease in China, Huangkui Capsule is a single medicament of traditional Chinese medicine consists of Abelmoschus manihot and has been widely used to treat kidney disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Abelmoschus manihot for treating IgA nephropathy in large scale samples with long time take.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Multi-glycoside of Tripterygium Wilfordii HOOK. f. is effective and safe in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.
This prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial will evaluate the effect and security of steroids therapy for patients of IgA nephropathy with active pathological changes,including crescents,necrosis and microthrombus.
IgA nephropathy(IgAN) is the highest incidence of kidney pathology in the primary nephropathy. In terms of differences in prognosis, severe IgA nephropathy,one of the most main primary renal disease,could cause the uremia. It will be significant that early indicators of prognosis and early intervention can be normalized and the scientific criteria for judging the efficacy of great clinical can be established. The subject based on the past study,literature research and various treatment will take the method of multi-center, double-blind, randomized, control to investigate the standard treatment of severe IgA nephropathy. Otherwise the uniformity and objectivity of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) will be improved by the standardization of TCM research based on the epidemiological investigation and statistical analysis. The subject will determine the efficacy of more sensitive biomarkers and establish more scientific criteria for judging the effect with the application of urine proteomics and metabolomics technologies in order to operate in the formation of the standardization program of the treatment of severe IgA nephropathy with the Integrative medicine of TCM.
