In IgAN, the KDIGO guidelines define proteinuria targets:1
The guideline recommends initial treatment with long-term renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin II-receptor blocker (ARB). If the initial treatment is unsuccessful and the patient remains at a high risk of progression, treatment with glucocorticoids may be considered.1
