    IntroductionThe relationship between weight gain and progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has been investigated by many researchers but remains controversial. The incidence of IgAN is significantly higher in Asia than in other regions. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between weight gain and primary IgAN in the Asian population.Methods And AnalysisSeven databases were retrieved up to now. We stratified the included population by body mass index (BMI) and performed a meta-analysis of associated risk factors.ObjectivesIn this study, Asian IgAN patients with different BMI were grouped together to clarify the relationship between BMI and IgAN progression in Asian populations, so as to provide more ideas and treatment means for the prevention and treatment of IgAN in the future.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
