Purpose This systematic review aims to synthesize data from biopsy‐based studies to quantify the epidemiology, regional variations, and temporal trends of glomerular diseases (GDs) in Saudi Arabia. Methods We conducted a systematic search using PubMed, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies published up to ...

Objective: Co-deposition of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and IgG4 anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) autoantibodies under subepithelial cells has been observed in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN), but the relationships of ...

HLA Profiles of Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in Central South Africa
Background The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) complex has been associated with the susceptibility of several hundred human diseases, increasingly so with kidney disease. HLA data are under‐represented in South Africa, and thus, their contribution to disease characterisation remains poorly understood.

BackgroundThe anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody is a non-invasive diagnostic tool and prognosis predictor of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). Baseline hypercholesterolemia independently predicts proteinuria outcomes in IMN patients.

Background Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)–associated membranous nephropathy (MN) is a primary cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Modified Guizhi plus Huangqi decoction (MGPHD) has been clinically effective for PLA2R MN. This basic study was designed to investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of MGPHD in treating PLA2R MN.

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor in Non-lupus Patients with Membranous Nephropathy and Crescents
Introduction: Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is detected in approximately 70% of biopsies of “primary” membranous nephropathy (MN). Crescents in MN in non-lupus patients suggest additional injury, such as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody ...

The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...
