Case in brief

A 45-year-old male with biopsy-confirmed IgA vasculitis nephritis presented with progressive renal impairment and significant proteinuria. He was treated with weekly telitacicept and oral prednisone. Over six months, proteinuria decreased by 78.7%, renal function stabilized, and prednisone was successfully tapered without relapse, indicating a potential steroid-sparing effect of telitacicept.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Telitacicept may offer a novel therapeutic approach for adult-onset IgA vasculitis nephritis, demonstrating significant improvement in proteinuria and renal function.
