IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by infections followed by episodic gross hematuria. Deficiency of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is associated with recurrent infection in many diseases, but controversy exists regarding the role of MBL in IgAN. Here, we measured MBL2 variants and MBL levels in 749 patients with IgAN and 489 healthy controls. Overall, 5.2% (39 of 749) of patients with IgAN had MBL deficiency (MBL levels < 100 ng/ml), among whom LYPB/LYPB and LXPA/LYPB were the predominant MBL2 haplotypes (82%; 32 of 39). We found a nonlinear association between MBL levels and renal outcome in IgAN. Patients with IgAN and MBL deficiency had a higher incidence of prodromic infections and gross hematuria than those with sufficient MBL levels (100-3540 ng/ml). Moreover, MBL deficiency independently associated with poor renal outcome in IgAN after multiple adjustments (hazard ratio, 5.18; 95% confidence interval, 2.50 to 10.72; P < 0.001). Patients with high MBL levels (. 3540 ng/ml) had more severe proteinuria and a higher proportion of crescents, although the association with IgAN progression did not reach statistical significance after adjustments. In conclusion, MBL deficiency and MBL excess may both have deleterious effects on IgAN progression, which suggests that MBL contributes to IgAN pathogenesis through multiple mechanisms.
