PG - 80-3 AB - In 2002, the Joint Committee of the Special Study Group on Progressive Glomerular Diseases, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan newly revised the clinical guidelines for IgA nephropathy (Sakai et al.: Jpn J Nephrol 37:417-421, 1995; Tomino and Sakai: Clin Exp Nephrol, 7, 93-97, 2003). The prognostic stages were classified into four groups: the good prognosis group (Group I), relatively good prognosis group (Group II), relatively poor prognosis group (Group III), and poor prognosis group (Group IV). The relationship between the levels of Hb, Ht, and RBC in peripheral blood and the renal prognostic stages was determined in 62 patients with IgA nephropathy in the present study. The mean levels of Hb, Ht, and RBC were significantly lower in Group IV than in Group I (P<0.05). However, there were no significant changes in the levels of serum creatinine (s-Cr) or creatinine clearance (CCr) among these four groups. It appears that the levels of Hb, Ht, and RBC in peripheral blood may be important clinical parameters for the evaluation of prognostic stages in patients with IgA nephropathy.
