At 12 months after treatment, the microhematuria disappeared in five of these patients and one patient had mild hematuria. Three patients had severe proteinuria (more than 1.0\u2009g\/gCr) before tonsillectomy and improved after treatment. On histological analysis, four patients had acute lesions including cellular or fibrocellular crescents. The acute lesions disappeared after these treatments in all patients. Eleven patients had chronic lesions including global sclerosis, segmental sclerosis and fibrous crescents. The chronic lesion was ameliorated in six patients, unchanged in three and deteriorated in two patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Tonsillectomy improves not only clinical findings but also ameliorates histological damage caused by recurrent <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">IgAN<\/jats:styled-content> after kidney transplantation.
