Popis: BACKGROUND In 1985 we reported that 11% of a cohort of 151 patients with IgA nephritis (IgAN) had developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD) after a follow-up period of 5 years. 15 years later, 35% had developed ESRD. METHODS We retrieved 125 stored renal biopsy paraffin blocks of the original cohort. From these, 102 patients were included in the present study and scored according to the Oxford classification as 21 specimens with less than 8 glomeruli were excluded and in 2 others, tissue samples were too tiny for a re-block. ESRD was ascertained by linking the study cohort to the Singapore Renal Registry at the National Registry of Diseases Office. RESULTS Renal survival curves for each of the Oxford MEST lesions: endocapillary proliferation (E) (p
