 KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL EDITORIAL SELECTION 
Application of the International IgA Nephropathy Prediction Tool One or Two Years Post-biopsy
Using an international multi-ethnic derivation cohort of 2,507 adults with IgAN, the authors updated the International IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) Prediction Tool one year after biopsy. They externally validated this in a cohort of 722 adults.
The updated Prediction Tool had similar prediction performance when used at the time of biopsy and two years after biopsy. Thus, the updated Prediction Tool can be used for risk stratification one or two years post-biopsy.

Higher coffee intake was associated with a lower risk of incident AKI after adjusting for multivariable factors.
