Abstract

Background Immunoglobulin A vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) is the most serious complication affecting long-term prognosis. Understanding the risk factors and markers for the development of IgAVN is essential. The aim of this study is to identify IgAVN-associated factors and to evaluate the usability of Pediatric Vasculitis Activity Score (PVAS) at diagnosis as an early marker for the development of IgAVN.
