Association of serum mannose-binding lectin, anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody and renal outcomes in idiopathic membranous nephropathy and atypical membranous nephropathy: a single center retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Objectives Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) is a major cause of nephrotic syndrome. Atypical membranous nephropathy (aMN) is a new type of nephropathy in China, characterized by a ‘full-house’ on immunofluorescent examination, that is IgG, IgA ...

Renal outcomes of idiopathic and atypical membranous nephropathy in adult Chinese patients: a single center retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Background Membranous nephropathy (MN) is mainly classified into idiopathic MN (iMN) and secondary MN in etiology. In recent years, a new kind of membranous nephropathy, atypical membranous nephropathy (aMN) which shows “full house” in immunofluorescence

Clinical significance of renal histological diagnosis in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria atypical for diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Background/Aim Most patients with proteinuria are considered to have typical diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, when proteinuria occurs without diabetic retinopathy, with hematuria, or persists despite strict glycemic and blood pressure control, it is ...

Clinicopathological features of atypical membranous nephropathy with unknown etiology in adult Chinese patients. [PDF]
Membranous nephropathy is typically classified as idiopathic and secondary, but nowadays the number of atypical membranous nephropathy (aMN) is increasing, many of which cannot determine its etiology in China. In this study, we compared the clinical and pathological characteristics of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) with aMN with unknown ...

PLA2R-Positive Membranous Nephropathy and AA Amyloidosis in an Ethiopian Patient With Chronic Hepatitis B: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The coexistence of primary phospholipase A2 receptor positive membranous nephropathy and AA amyloidosis in a patient with chronic hepatitis B is an exceedingly rare triad presenting a profound diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A 38‐year‐old Ethiopian man with nephrotic syndrome and chronic hepatitis B had dual pathology on renal biopsy ...

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, excluding atypical lesion, is a predictor of renal outcome in patients with membranous nephropathy: a retrospective analysis of 716 cases [PDF]
Background Focal segmental lesions (FSLs) are not uncommon in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The reported percentage of IMN patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesions varies widely between studies.

Serine Protease HTRA1 Membranous Nephropathy With Polytypic IgG Concurrent With Plasma Cell Dyscrasia [PDF]
A growing number of target antigens have been identified in membranous nephropathy (MN) in recent years. Clinical correlations exist for some MN antigens, whereas others remain poorly characterized because of their rarity.
