Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Reversible acute kidney injury very rarely complicates the course of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. We report an atypical case of reversible acute kidney injury, gross hematuria, and severe bilateral flank pain as the presenting triad of IgA nephropathy. Renal biopsy revealed mesangial IgA deposition without glomerular crescents. The patient's renal dysfunction, mediated by red cell tubular obstruction, interstitial nephritis, and tubular necrosis, resolved without intervention. We conclude that IgA nephropathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis for transient acute kidney injury with gross hematuria, and should be appropriately treated based on known prognostic factors.
