Clinical and Humanistic Burden of IgAN in Adult Patients

What is it about?

IgA nephropathy is a common type of kidney disease. Physicians and patients were surveyed to assess the impact of this disease on patient's symptoms and quality of life. This report demonstrates that IgA nephropathy can have a substantial impact on patients in causing chronic symptoms and reducing quality of life. It goes further to relate these impacts to disease severity as measured by how much protein is in the urine, and to what degree kidney function is reduced.
