Data retrieved both globally English-speaking countries, including the United States. Monthly yearly relative assessed compared. Results Globally, IgAN had highest average activity, followed by DN, FSGS, LN, MN. Both FSGS exhibited declining trends, while LN showed an upward pattern. MN DN experienced a modest decline before 2016, preceded slight increase. Among was predominantly concentrated primarily States, Kingdom, Canada, Australia, with States consistently ranking as leading country. For IgAN, MN, trends observed appeared align data. In contrast, exceeded levels, slightly lower than activity. most prominent North Dakota, Massachusetts, Delaware, respectively, saw peak West Virginia.
