Abstract | IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of glomerulonephritis worldwide. IgAN progresses to end-stage kidney disease in 20-40% of patients within 20 years of diagnosis. Kidney transplantation is the most effective option for patients with end-stage kidney disease caused by IgAN, but recurrence can occur in the transplanted kidney. The IgAN recurrence rate varies from 1% to 10% per year and varies according to the follow-up period, diagnostic modality, and biopsy criteria. Of note, studies based on protocol biopsies have reported a higher incidence of recurrence, which also occurred earlier after transplantation. In addition, recent data show that recurrence of IgAN is a more significant cause of allograft failure than previously believed. Little is known about the pathophysiology of IgAN recurrence, but several potential biomarkers have been investigated. Among them, galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), IgG anti-Gd-IgA1 antibodies, and soluble CD89 could play a pivotal role in disease activity. This review aims to describe the current status of recurrent IgAN, including the incidence, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and future perspectives, with a focus on the available therapeutic approaches. |
