Treatment of mesangial immunoglobulin A glomerulonephritis.
Mesangial immunoglobulin A glomerulonephritis does not progress unless microscopic hematuria presents at levels over 100,000/mL, proteinuria presents at levels over 0.5 g in 24 hours, or hypertension is inadequately controlled. Hypertension, microscopic hematuria, and proteinuria all can be controlled; the evidence for control of these three risk factors is reviewed. The evidence for prevention of progression in mesangial immunoglobulin A glomerulonephritis is also reviewed.
