IgA Nephropathy: eGFR Slope as a Predictor of Kidney Outcomes

I’ve noticed a frustrating pattern in medicine: we often fall in love with the snapshot. A single lab value, taken on a single day, becomes a proxy for an entire future—when biologically, the story is almost always a moving target. What makes the latest IgA nephropathy evidence so compelling is that it leans into the movement itself: the slope of eGFR over time. In my opinion, this is not just a technical improvement for kidney risk prediction. It’s a philosophical shift.
