J Nephrol . trailer IgA is an antibody—a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses. IgA nephropathy was the dominant diagnosis (68%). Most patients with IgA nephropathy and thin basement membrane nephropathy without proteinuria have a good long-term prognosis and, other than ACE inhibitors, there is no clear effective therapy for any of these … These data justify the interest for finding a suitable therapeutic approach particularly in progressive cases.
