About This Event
Utilization Of The International IgA Nephropathy Prediction Tool
Background
IgA Nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis and a leading cause of End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). While historically IgAN has been described as a slow progressive disease1, more recent literature demonstrates disease progression is extremely heterogeneous with a 10-year risk of reaching ESKD varying between 5-50%2.
Did You Know?
A significant proportion of patients with IgA nephropathy qualify for immunosuppression therapy, despite having nonprogressive disease, while many patients experience kidney function decline who do not qualify for treatment2. Accurate assessment of a patient’s risk of progression is essential for shared decision making around therapeutic options.
Why Attend This Webinar?
To learn about the clinical, laboratory and histological risk predictors that make up the International IgAN Prediction Tool and gain an understanding of its clinical utility and future potential.
What You Will Learn
1) Key risk predictors for disease progression in IgAN
2) How to implement the International IgAN Prediction Tool in clinical practice
3) Strengths and weaknesses of the tool
