Brief description IgA nephropathy is one of the most common causes of kidney failure in Australia and around the world, but there are currently no specific treatments proven to prevent kidney failure. The SIGNAL trial, jointly led by Australian and Chinese researchers, will bring together leading experts from around the world to reliably ascertain the effects of steroid therapy in this condition, and could potentially prevent many people from developing kidney failure in the future.
