Popis: Background Immune and inflammatory factors are considered the basic underlying mechanisms of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is a new inflammatory biomarker and has been identified as a prognostic indicator for various diseases. However, limited studies have been conducted on the prognostic value of the SII in patients with IgAN, and we aimed to address this gap.Methods A total of 374 patients with IgAN confirmed by renal biopsy performed from 1 January 2015 to 1 April 2019, were retrospectively included. The follow-up period of all patients was at least 12 months after diagnosis, and the endpoint was defined as end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Patients were further divided into a high-risk group (SII ≥ 456.21) and a low-risk group (SII < 456.21) based on the optimal cutoff value of the SII determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Baseline clinicopathological parameters were compared between the groups, and Cox proportional hazards analyses and Kaplan–Meier analysis were performed to assess renal survival in IgAN patients.Results After a median follow-up period of 32.5 months, a total of 53 patients eventually reached ESKD. Patients in the high-SII group tended to have a lower hemoglobin level (p = 0.032) and eGFR (p
