Importance of very low proteinuria levels in immunoglobulin A nephropathy: evidence of a non-linear association with long-term kidney survival

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at people with a kidney disease called IgA nephropathy. It found that having very low levels of protein in the urine is linked to better long-term kidney survival. This shows a link, not proof of cause. It helps doctors know that keeping protein levels low is important.
