Abstract:
2 score,20.0% vs 8.5%) between two groups (P0.05). After a mean post-biopsy follow-up of (34.6?33.3) months, the 3-year and the 5-year renal survival rates for elder group were 74.6% and 62.2%, respectively, which were lower than those of non-elder group (100% and 92.9%, P=0.002). Conclusion:Elder patients with IgA nephropathy were more likely to suffer from hypertension, hyperlipidemia, renal insufficiency and chronic pathologic lesions, which might be the risk factors for the patient's unfavorable prognosis.
