An experimental drug is more effective in treating a rare kidney disease

Abstract

Kidney disease is a serious health condition affecting millions of people worldwide. While there are many different types of kidney disease, one rare but particularly challenging form is known as IgA nephropathy. This condition occurs when the immune system attacks the kidneys, leading to inflammation and scarring that can ultimately result in kidney failure. However, a recent study has shown that an experimental medication may be more effective at treating this rare kidney ailment than standard treatments.
