IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a progressive disease with great variability in the clinical course.
Among the clinical and pathologic features contributing to variable outcomes, the presence …

Background A working group on the Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) recently
reported that crescents detected in kidney tissue predicted a worse renal outcome. However …

Abstract The Oxford Classification of IgA nephropathy does not account for glomerular
crescents. However, studies that reported no independent predictive role of crescents on …

Purpose Whether different crescentic proportions determine the progression of IgA
nephropathy (IgAN) with crescents in less than 50% of glomeruli remains controversial. We …

Abstract Background/Aims: Additional validation study was warranted to confirm the clinical
significance of C score, which was recently added to the Oxford classification for …

Background/aims The aim of the study was to investigate the clinicopathological
characteristics, risk factors and renal outcome in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with …

Introduction: A working group on the Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) recently
reported that crescents detected in the kidney tissue predicted a worse renal outcome …

Crescents involving more than 50% of glomeruli in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) signify a rapid
deterioration of renal function. However, little is known about the prognosis of IgAN patients …

Purpose The association between crescents and renal outcomes was inconsistent in a
Chinese IgA nephropathy (IgAN) cohort, and limited research has investigated the prognosis …

Abstract The 2009 Oxford Classification of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN)
identifies four histological features as predictors of renal prognosis: mesangial …
