IgA glomerulonephritis (IgAGN) composes a variable prognosis with 15-40% of the patients eventually progressing to end-stage renal failure. Known risk factors for progressive course of IgAGN include hypertension, proteinuria and renal insufficiency. Although markers of inflammation such as serum or urinary interleukin-6 (IL-6) and serum albumin have predicted progression in some studies, sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) has not been directly linked to the progression of IgAGN.
