Abstract | INTRODUCTION: OBJECTIVES: Since very few studies regarding vascular disorders in IgAN are published, we aimed to evaluate the role of vascular disease in a group of IgAN patients, especially with regard to Oxford classification, immunostaining findings and various laboratory and clinical data. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted from July 2009 to March 2013. All kidney biopsies were prepared for light and immunofluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: The association of vasculopathy with serum creatinine and amount of proteinuria further support the role of vasculopathy in aggravation of IgAN. We also had different results with regard to the prevalence of TMA in previous published studies, which needs further investigation in larger series of IgAN patients.
