Distinct Complement Activation Profiles Between NELL1‐ and PLA2R‐Associated Membranous Nephropathy: A Clinicopathological and Proteomic Study [PDF]
We compared the clinicopathological features and complement activation profiles of PLA2R‐associated and NELL1‐associated membranous nephropathy. NELL1‐associated membranous nephropathy was associated with older age, more chronic histologic changes and less glomerular C3 and C4d deposition.

Anti-PLA2R Antibodies in Chinese Patients with Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
BACKROUND ~This study used two standardized methods to evaluate anti-PLA2R antibody in serum of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) among Chinese patients to determine Anti-PLA2R antibody distribution and whether immunological reactivity reflected by antibody titer correlates with kidney function parameters.

The value of PLA2R antigen and IgG subclass staining relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differential diagnosis of membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Background The diagnostic performance of PLA2R and IgG subclass staining of kidney biopsies relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differentiation of primary and secondary membranous nephropathy (pMN, sMN) was examined.

Associations between anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies and disease activity and prognosis have been suggested in primary membranous nephropathy (MN); however, more evidence is needed.

Anti-PLA2R antibody positivity in adult minimal change disease with tuberculosis co-infection: A case report. [PDF]
Rationale: Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody is a highly specific serological marker for primary membranous nephropathy, with a detection rate of <2% in minimal change disease (MCD). This case represents the first report of PLA2R-positive adult MCD complicated by active pulmonary tuberculosis ...

Anti-PLA2R antibody in primary and secondary forms of membranous glomerulopathy [PDF]
INTRODUÇÃO: A glomerulopatia membranosa (GNM) é considerada a principal causa de síndrome nefrótica em adultos. A maioria dos casos é considerada primária, mas cerca de 20-30% das GNM são secundárias a uma condição clínica subjacente, como neoplasias ...

The optimal anti-phospholipase A2 receptor cutoff for the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: a single-center retrospective study [PDF]
Background/Aims Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) autoantibody is the main biomarker of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). We aimed to find a new cutoff value of anti-PLA2R for patients with IMN and to explore the relevance between this ...

Prognostic value of PLA2R autoimmunity detected by measurement of anti-PLA2R antibodies combined with detection of PLA2R antigen in membranous nephropathy: A single-centre study over 14 years. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Clinical course of membranous nephropathy (MN) is difficult to predict. Measurement of circulating anti-PLA2R autoantibodies (PLA2R-Ab) and detection in immune deposits of PLA2R antigen (PLA2R-Ag) are major advances in disease understanding.

Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) is recognized as an organ-specific autoimmune disease, mainly caused by anti-PLA2R antibody. This study aimed to study between anti-PLA2R antibody level at diagnosis and the response to tacrolimus (TAC ...
