What is the life expectancy of someone with IgA nephropathy?
Life expectancy of people with IgA nephropathy and recent progresses and researches in IgA nephropathy
Current statistical data shows that IgA patients can go into remission and this accounts for about 4%-20%. The survival rate within 10 years is 80%-90% and there will be 20%-30% of patients who develop progressive renal insufficiency. IgA nephropathy is a chronic kidney disease and patients will only have slight symptoms and discomforts after 10 years and the illness condition will become life-threatening after 30 years. About 35% of patients will develop end stage renal failure and the rest have persistent proteinuria and/or hematuria.
