Aims: The aim of this study was to develop a new method for detecting anti-phospholipase
A2 receptor-IgG4 to improve the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of idiopathic …

The M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA 2 R) is the major target antigen in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy with detectable autoantibodies in the serum of up to 70% of …

Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy, a common form of the nephrotic
syndrome, is an antibody-mediated autoimmune glomerular disease. Serologic diagnosis …

Background. The recent identification of circulating autoantibodies directed towards the M‐
type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) has been a major advancement in the serological …

Background Antibodies to M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (a-PLA2R) have been
identified in most patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, but the prevalence in …

Autoantibodies against the M-type phospholipase A 2 receptor (PLA 2 R) are specific
markers for primary membranous nephropathy (MN). Quantification of PLA 2 R …

Since the identification of PLA2R (M‐type phospholipase A2 receptor) as the first human
antigenic target in primary membranous nephropathy (MN), perpetual progress has been …

We conducted a prospective study to assess utility of detection of antibodies to
phospholipase A 2 receptor (PLA 2 R) in the serum of patients with membranous …

The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) is the major autoantigen in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (MN). However, the pathogenic role of anti‐PLA2R1 …

Background Detection of M-type phospholipase A 2 receptor (PLA 2 R) can be used in
serologic diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), but there are limited data …
