Abstract
Summary: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide. Since its description in 1968, a number of histologic descriptions and classification systems have emerged, the most recent of which is the Oxford Classification of IgAN. We present a historical panorama of histologic classifications of IgAN and discuss the most recent developments, updates, and future challenges of the Oxford Classification of IgAN.
