Table 1 Comparison of the three miRNA profiles from the existing research. IgAN, IgA nephropathy; NC, normal controls; DC, disease controls; MN, membranous nephropathy; MCD, minimal change disease; FSGS, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis; HSPN, Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis; RA, renal amyloidosis.

From: Urinary miR-16-5p can be used as a potential marker of endocapillary hypercellularity in IgA nephropathy
