Opportunities in IgA Nephropathy Research: Exploring the 4 Hit Process
- IgA nephropathy is a progressive autoimmune kidney disease that typically affects adults aged 20 to 40 worldwide.
- The disease develops as immune complexes formed with Gd-IgA1 build up within the kidneys, resulting in damage that can ultimately lead to kidney failure.
- Symptoms vary and may include hematuria, proteinuria, fatigue, and high blood pressure, with early stages often asymptomatic or subtle, delaying diagnosis.
- Research efforts focus on targeting APRIL and the 4 hit process as potential therapeutic strategies, supported by Otsuka's commitment to advanced kidney disease treatments.
- Many patients progress to end-stage kidney disease, emphasizing the need for continued research and patient support to improve management and outcomes.
