Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18-70 years old, male or female 2. Primary IgA nephropathy confirmed by renal biopsy. 3. Urine protein ≥ 0.75g/24h or 24-hour urine protein creatinine ratio (PCR) ≥ 0.6 g/g. 4. eGFR ≥ 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 calculated using the CKD-EPI formula. 5. Received treatment with ACEI/ARB for 12 weeks before randomization, and the drug dose (within the maximum tolerated range) was stable within 4 weeks before randomization. 6. Use of SGLT2, MRA, hydroxychloroquine, and etc. remained unchanged. 7. Voluntarily participated in this study and signed the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with abnormal laboratory indicators (see study protocol for details). 2. Secondary IgA nephropathy such as Henoch-Schonlein purpura, SLE, cirrhosis, etc. 3.
