IgA nephropathy has variable clinical presentation and progression. Its definitive diagnosis and prognosis require renal biopsy. The identification of new biomarkers allowing noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity would be advantageous. This study analyzed the urine proteome of IgA nephropathy patients at an early stage of disease.
