Background: In the last decade, great advances have been made in the field of membranous
nephropathy (MN). The autoimmune nature of the disease has been confirmed with the …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a pattern of injury caused by autoantibodies binding to
specific target antigens, with accumulation of immune complexes along the subepithelial …

The identification of the phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1
domain-containing protein 7A (THSD7A) as podocyte antigens in adult patients with …

The detection of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin domain
containing 7A THSD7A among primary membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) patients …

Rationale & Objective Membranous nephropathy (MN) is characterized by the deposition of
immune complexes along glomerular basement membranes. M-Type phospholipase A 2 …

Membranous nephropathy is the most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome in
adults. The most important mechanism in its pathogenesis is loss of immune tolerance. New …

The discovery of anti-podocyte antibodies in primary membranous nephropathy (MN) has
revolutionized our approach toward the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Evaluation …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is characterized histomorphologically by the presence of
immune deposits in the subepithelial space of the glomerular filtration barrier; its clinical …

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is responsible for most cases of nephrotic
syndrome in adults [1]. Although spontaneous remission may occur in some cases and …
