Can one fully recover from IgA nephropathy without the need for dialysis or transplant?

Some of the factors that affect the long term prognosis of patients with IgA nephropathy depends on the findings at presentation. If the kidney function is normal, blood pressure is normal and the protein leakage is minimal (less than 0. 5 g per day) they do have a good prognosis. Some of these patients can go into remission, that is, they have no protein leakage. The long term risk for kidney failure in patients with minimal protein leakage is about 40 to 50% at 30 years.
