Laboratory data of patients with crescentic IgA nephropathy according to the presence or absence of ANCAs.
| Laboratory | N = 17 | ANCA-Positive N = 5 (3 IgA/2 IgG) |
ANCA-Negative N = 12 |
p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin (mg/dL) (DS) | 11.7 (+/−1.58) | 11.9 (+/−1.2) | 12.1 (+/−1.26) | NS |
| Initial Creatinine (mg/dL) (DS) | 2.2 (+/−1.42) | 2.5 (+/−1.22) | 2.1 (+/−1.26) | NS |
| Initial Proteinuria (g/mgCr) (DS) | 3.17 (+/−3.5) | 3.56 (+/−4.97) | 3.2 (+/−3.04) | NS |
| Microscopic hematuria (HPF) * | 505 | 661 | 439 | NS |
| Creatinine (mg/dL) (DS) 6 months |
2.25 (+/−1.8) | 2.2 (+/−1.9) | 2.46 (+/−2.1) | NS |
| Creatinine (mg/dL) (DS) 12 months |
1.57 (+/−1) | 1.63 (+/−0.85) | 1.62 (+/−1.3) | NS |
* HPF—high power field. NS—not significant.
