IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease that happens when a protein called immunoglobulin A (IgA) builds up in the kidneys. This can cause inflammation and damage to the kidneys over time, which can affect how well they work. It's often linked to things like blood in the urine, protein in the urine, and sometimes swelling in parts of the body like the legs or face. The exact cause is not always clear, but it's thought to happen when the immune system overreacts. The disease is usually slow-moving, but in some cases, it can lead to kidney failure if not managed properly.

About 20-40% of people with IgA nephropathy may develop kidney failure (end-stage kidney disease) over a span of 20 to 30 years. However, many individuals with IgA nephropathy don't experience severe kidney problems and can live with the condition for a long time without major issues. The risk of kidney failure depends on factors like how much kidney damage has occurred, how well the disease is managed, and whether other conditions (such as high blood pressure) are also present. Early detection and treatment can help slow down the progression of the disease.

Fortunately, it's only a mild form of IgAN, which responds very well to dapagliflozin and candesartan cilexetil.
