Abstract
Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy: Broadening the scope of the classification
Highlights
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulopathy worldwide
The most significant development in IgAN research in the recent past consists of promulgation of the Oxford-MEST classification
The ongoing and future research should address the issues of combining the clinical, laboratory, histopathological, molecular biological and genetic data, to devise algorithms for individualized decisions of treatment choice for patients with IgAN, and accurate prognostication
Summary
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulopathy worldwide. *Corresponding author: Dr Muhammed Mubarak, Histopathology Department, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi-74200, Pakistan. There is relatively little information in literature on the population-based prevalence and clinicopathological features of IgAN in third world countries [3, 8,9,10].
