A decrease of about 25% in adiponectin levels was noted by Fallo et al. when administering 25 mg of hydrocortisone to adults, lasting up to 120 minutes [27], while Uchida et al. demonstrated an increase in adiponectin after 3 days of steroid pulse therapy in patients with IgA nephropathy [28]. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to IgA glomerulonephritis.
