Abstrakt: The Oxford classification system has been found to have significant correlations with clinical and laboratory data in patients with IgA nephropathy. Studies have shown that higher grades of mesangial hypercellularity and endocapillary hypercellularity are associated with younger age, higher blood pressure, and higher levels of proteinuria. Segmental glomerulosclerosis has been found to be associated with more severe proteinuria, lower serum albumin levels, and higher levels of creatinine. Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis has been associated with older age, higher serum creatinine levels, and lower estimated glomerular filtration rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
