IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease in the worldwide, and its immunopathological features are mainly the deposition of IgA in glomerular mesangial region and / or vascular loop. It has been found that the expression and changes of some factors involved in the pathological injury of IgAN can provide some evidence for the diagnosis, evaluation and prognosis of IgAN. This paper reviews the research progress of IgAN biomarkers in Multiple-Hits theory, miRNAs, complement system and cytokines.
