IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remains the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide and a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease in adolescents and young adults. The 2025 KDIGO clinical practice guideline updates represent a major paradigm shift, lowering the optimal proteinuria target from <1.0 g/day to <0.3 g/day and emphasizing earlier escalation at persistent proteinuria ≥0.5 g/day, even in the absence of rapid eGFR decline. Notably, these guidelines recommend a simultaneous, dual-pathway approach, combining optimized supportive therapy (RAAS inhibition, SGLT2 inhibitors) with the timely introduction of immunomodulatory or disease-modifying agents in high-risk patients. However, real-world practice across Asia has not yet caught up. Explore this series for practical strategies to support patient selection and the integration of emerging agents into individualized care.
