Global IgA Nephropathy Epidemiology Insights

Thelansis’s “Global IgA Nephropathy Epidemiology Insights and Forecast Report (Top 32 Markets) – 2020 To 2040″ provides an analysis of disease burden, characterized by disease definition, kidney biopsy cases, prevalence, incidence, diagnosed cases, severity, comorbidities, and clinical manifestations. Potential patient flow dynamics in disease burden are driven by shifts in demographic indicators and their correlation with age and gender distribution over time. Changes in the reported cases and long-term survival of patients may depend on diet, lifestyle, comorbid conditions, and the availability of interventions or therapies for the 32 markets (North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa, South / Latin America).

IgA Nephropathy Overview

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. The fundamental issue of this condition lies in the abnormal glycosylation of O-linked glycans (glycoproteins) within the hinge region of IgA1 throughout the body. Consequently, there are increased galactose-deficient IgA1 (GdIgA1) levels in the bloodstream, targeted by glycan-specific IgA and IgG autoantibodies. IgA, an antibody integral to mucosal immunity, occurs in two isotypes, namely IgA1 and IgA2. It can also exist as a dimeric structure known as secretory IgA. Plasma cells in mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues mainly produce secretory IgA in a polymeric form, consisting of multiple monomers linked by the J-chain, a 17-kDa polypeptide. In IgAN, the kidneys sustain the primary damage. The disease follows a gradual yet relentless clinical course, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in approximately 30-40% of patients within 20-30 years. IgAN can manifest in sporadic cases (90-95%) or familial cases (5-10%). Individuals with familial IgAN may experience a more unfavorable prognosis than those with sporadic forms since they are more likely to progress to renal failure.
