Improving Lives Through IgA Nephropathy Awareness and Care
What is the IgAN Alliance?
The IgAN Alliance is a group of advocacy organizations, industry partners, people impacted by IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), and healthcare professionals working together to improve the journey to diagnosis and treatment for those living with IgAN.
Our Mission: Advancing Early Diagnosis and Better Outcomes for IgAN
The IgAN Alliance was newly formed in 2025 by NephCure to be an advocating voice for the community in helping people reach an accurate diagnosis sooner. Earlier diagnosis is critical in properly managingcare and understanding the best treatment plan.
The IgAN Alliance aims to address the challenges faced by people living with IgAN by:
Educating individuals, families, and physicians to approach IgAN diagnoses and care plans with urgency
Sharing the most innovative methods to treat and manage IgAN
Providing helpful information to individuals and families about receiving treatment, support, and assistance
Welcome to the IgAN Alliance

The Current State of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) Care
People living with IgAN commonly experience long delays in diagnosis and, therefore, take longer to receive treatment. Efficient and timely diagnosis is crucial to receiving a treatment plan that could slow the progression of their condition.
The impact of delayed diagnosis:
• 1/3 of people living with IgAN with less than 1g of protein experience end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in 10 years
• 1/2 of people living with IgAN will progress to ESKD in their lifetime (mean age 48)
• Many people do not have treatment plans that are best suited for their individual needs or lifestyle
