Immune-mediated renal injury and cardiometabolic risk in IgA nephropathy: clinical evidence on telitacicept from a scoping review.

A targeted immune therapy may address both kidney damage and heart-metabolic risk in IgA nephropathy patients.

This scoping review examines the intersection of immune-mediated kidney injury and cardiovascular-metabolic risk in IgA nephropathy. It synthesizes evidence on telitacicept, a dual BAFF/APRIL inhibitor, as a treatment targeting both renal and cardiometabolic outcomes.
