The Oxford classification appears to be valid for predicting renal outcome in children.

N. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cyst lining epithelial cells in an orthologous PCK rat model of autosomal-recessive polycystic kidney disease.

The spontaneous remission rate in childhood IgAN with MGA/FMP was higher than expected. Our results suggest that physicians should consider the potential for spontaneous remission and refrain from very aggressive treatment in IgAN patients with MGA/FMP.

Renal biopsy timing may alter the significance of variables used in the Oxford classification.

The most significant factor for renal survival was responsiveness to treatment, not NS itself. As modifiable acute lesions are the dominant pathological findings in NS-IgAN, histological improvements achieved by appropriate treatments can result in a favorable prognosis.
