ABSTRACT
Recurrent IgA nephropathy (rIgAN) is an important cause of kidney allograft loss. Till now, no proven strategies have been confirmed to prevent/decrease the rIgAN. Here, a systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on the available interventions impacting rIgAN. PubMed, Embase, Web of sciences, ProQuest, and Cochrane library databases along with Google Scholar were searched for articles evaluating the rIgAN after kidney transplantation (up to 23 February 2023). The main inclusion criteria were kidney transplantation because of primary IgAN and articles studying the rate of the rIgAN based on different therapeutic interventions to find their effects on the disease recurrence. Based on our criteria, 11 papers were included in this systematic review, two of which pleased the criteria for the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that the risk of the rIgAN in the steroid-free group was 3.33 times more than that of the steroid-receiving group (Pooled Hazard Ratio = 3.33, 95% CI 0.60 to18.33, Z-value = 1.38, p-value = 0.16). Steroid-free therapy increases the risk of rIgAN in kidney transplant recipients with primary IgAN. High-quality trials with large sample sizes studies are needed to confirm the impact of the steroids on decreasing the rate of the rIgAN.
