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 ...

Application of C5 inhibitors in glomerular diseases in 2021 [PDF]
The complement pathway is an essential mechanism in innate immunity, but it is also involved in multiple pathologies. For kidney diseases, strong evidence of a dysregulation in the alternative pathway in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) led to ...
