Objectives This study aimed to compare the performance of enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) and magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay (MP-CLIA) for …

Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is widely considered as an organ-
specific autoimmune disorder. Implicated in its pathogenesis are the phospholipase A2 …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults,
with an uncertain clinical outcome. The characterization of the phospholipase A 2 receptor …

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 Since the emergence of the anti-PLA2R antibody (PLA2R-Ab) test, nephrology
practice has not changed dramatically, with most nephrologists still relying on a kidney …

Background Circulating serum autoantibodies against the M-type phospholipase A2
receptor (PLA2R-AB) are a key biomarker in the diagnosis and monitoring of primary …

Introduction Clinical course of membranous nephropathy (MN) is difficult to predict.
Measurement of circulating anti-PLA2R autoantibodies (PLA2R-Ab) and detection in …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome
in native kidney biopsies from adults. In 2009, antibodies to the M-type receptor of …

Autoantibodies against phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) are a sensitive and specific
marker for idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The aim of our study was to redefine …

The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) is the major autoantigen in primary membranous
nephropathy. Several PLA2R1 epitopes have been characterized, and a retrospective study …
