A total of 164 patients with IgA nephropathy were diagnosed at the Department of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Department of Nephrology, General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur between 1981-1988. This represented an incidence of 20.1% of all primary glomerulopathies seen in both units. The 3 major ethnic groups were equally affected with 59.7% occurring between the ages of 20-36 years. It was not uncommon in females. The high prevalence of hypertension, renal failure, heavy proteinuria at presentation and the increased chronicity index in the biopsy, suggest that IgA nephropathy is progressive disease leading to chronic renal failure.
1981年至1988年间，马来西亚国民大学医学系和吉隆坡总医院肾病科共诊断出164例IgA肾病患者。这占两个科室所见所有原发性肾小球疾病的20.1%。3个主要种族受影响程度相同，59.7%的病例发生在20至36岁之间。在女性中也并不罕见。高血压、肾衰竭、就诊时大量蛋白尿的高患病率以及活检中慢性指数的增加，表明IgA肾病是一种导致慢性肾衰竭的进行性疾病。
