Can We Manage Without Biopsy in Membranous Nephropathy With Positive anti-PLA2R Antibodies?
Introduction. Our study compares 2 immunosuppressive strategies to reduce tacrolimus nephrotoxicity and its risk of acute tubular necrosis: delayed introduction of tacrolimus plus thymoglobulin vs initial tacrolimus plus basiliximab on the results of kidney transplant (KT) using type-III donation after circulatory death (III-DCD).

Nephrotic Syndrome: Beyond Common Causes
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 38‐year‐old Caucasian man with well‐controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy who developed nephrotic syndrome. The patient presented with a maculopapular rash, lymphadenopathy, oral lesions, nasal congestion and bilateral pitting oedema. Laboratory tests revealed hypoalbuminemia, nephrotic range proteinuria and abnormal

Behaviour of non-donor specific antibodies during rapid re-synthesis of donor specific HLA antibodies after antibody incompatible renal transplantation [PDF]
Background: HLA directed antibodies play an important role in acute and chronic allograft rejection. During viral infection of a patient with HLA antibodies, the HLA antibody levels may rise even though there is no new immunization with antigen ...

Introduction: Patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) are particularly susceptible to thromboembolism (TE). The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody (Ab) has been indicated to work as an independent risk predictor for venous TE in IMN.

We present an interesting case where a patient with chronic hepatitis B infection develops antigenaemia and nephrotic syndrome, and subsequent pulmonary embolism, highlighting the intricate interplay between viral hepatitis, renal disease and hypercoagulability. ABSTRACT Hepatitis B is a major health concern.
