The updated version of predictive classification for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) prognosis "The Oxford Classification" identifies five histopathological features including mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary proliferation (E), segmental glomerulosclerosis (S), tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T) and crescents (C), the MEST-C. However, few studies suggest that tubulointerstitial inflammation, which is not included in the MEST-C, is also linked to disease progression and is, consequently, a neglected determinant of prognosis among others.
Afzal et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
