Abstract
Assessing the prognosis is essential in chronic diseases, such as IgA nephropathy. The 2021 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommend the "International IgAN Prediction Tool" (available at www.qxmd.com) for this. The key limitation was that the tool was only validated at the time of the kidney biopsy. An improved algorithm is now described, which allows assessing the prognosis at 1 or 2 years after biopsy. Herein, we review the strengths, limitations, and potential clinical usefulness of this new prediction tool.
