IgA nephropathy, characterized by the deposition of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the kidneys, presents an estimated incidence of 2 to 10 cases per 100,000 individuals per year. Diagnosis typically occurs during the second and third decades of life, with a male-to-female ratio of 2 to 3:1 in North America and a 1:1 ratio in Asia. Notably, in Mexico, reported prevalence figures have reached up to 7% in small renal biopsy registries among patients aged 18 to 30 years.
