Complement activation products in the circulation and urine of primary membranous nephropathy
Background Complement activation plays a substantial role in the pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). C5b-9, C3c, MBL, and factor B have been documented in the subepithelial immune deposits. However, the changing of complement activation

Introduction Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is associated with the anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) antibody in 70% of cases. Some anti-PLA2R-negative patients have the PLA2R antigen in renal tissue.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) are chronic, multisystem disorders. When the two coexist, the manifestations become more complex and diverse, and early diagnosis and treatment are a key to improving the patient prognosis. However, to date, only scarce reports have been published, especially overlap syndrome. We review the

Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) is a target autoantigen in 70% of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. We describe the location of a major epitope in the N-terminal cysteine-rich ricin domain of PLA2R that is recognized by 90% of human ...

The discovery in 2009 of the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) as the primary target in membranous nephropathy (MN) greatly advanced basic and clinical research. Primary MN is now considered a renal-limited autoimmune disease, with antibodies against PLA2R (aPLA2Rab) identified in 70-80 % of patients of various ethnic groups. Although the use of

Background: M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) has been identified as the major target antigen in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). However, the role of glomerular PLA2R (gPLA2R) and the associations of serum anti-PLA2R antibody (sPLA2R-Ab ...
