Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Many articles on the 'Net state various prognosis depending on varying symptoms/lab results. But determining prognosis is confusing to my wife and I. These almost everything that we have read state that one sign of a better prognosis is age of onset symptoms. For instance, with gross hematuria showing in children (<8) the optimistic the prognosis. How does a younger age figure into a better prognosis? Is a 3yo's prognosis better than someone who is diagnosed at an older age only because the youger person will more likley have more (diagnosised) years before reaching ESRD than the person diagnosised at an older age? I am not sure if I am making sense, but I am trying too. I am making the assumption that IgA is a disease from birth with NO single event trigger.(which of course is not proven nor disproven.)
