Serum complement C4 is an important prognostic factor for IgA nephropathy: a retrospective study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important for diagnosis and risk stratification in chronic kidney disease and for selection of living donors. Ethnic differences have required correction factors in the originally developed creatinine-based GFR estimation equations for populations ar...
