Advancing IgAN Care: Exploring the Next Wave of Treatments

Biomarkers and clinical indicators play a crucial role in predicting disease outcomes, offering insights into disease progression, treatment response, and patient prognosis. These indicators can be genetic, molecular, or cellular, and are often identified through advanced diagnostic techniques. For instance, specific gene mutations or protein expressions can indicate the likelihood of disease recurrence or metastasis. Additionally, clinical indicators such as tumor size, stage, and patient health status are integral in assessing outcomes. Personalized medicine leverages these biomarkers to tailor treatment plans, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and patient survival rates.

Panelists discuss how integrating additional biomarkers with proteinuria measurements can enhance the diagnostic accuracy for IgA nephropathy.
