2. The prognosis of the patients with frequent gross hematuiria is bad.
3. If the patients are accompanied with a mass of protein in urine, the prognosis is bad.
4. If the blood pressure is beyond control, the prognosis of IgA Nephropathy is bad.
5. The patients with serious pathological changes, its prognosis is worse.

In addition, the location of immune complex also affects the prognosis of IgA Nephropathy. The patients with deposition both in mesangial area and capillary wall have a worse prognosis than those only have deposition in the mesangial area.
