Treatment of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

New England Journal of Medicine, 1976
In a retrospective study of the effect of treatment in biopsy-proved idiopathic membranous nephropathy, 91 adults and 12 children were followed for periods up to 29 years after clinical onset (mean, 6.5 years). Forty-four were treated with corticosteroids, 15 with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants; 44 had no treatment and served as a control group.

Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

Drugs, 2009
Treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is based on a 'symptomatic' therapy that includes ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists, and on an 'aetiological' therapy aimed at modulating underlying immunological mechanisms. The role of the latter is still debated given the usually indolent course of disease; furthermore, traditional ...

Management of idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2010
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) can have a variable natural course. Treatments able to induce remission can improve the long-term prognosis. However, the optimal therapy for IMN remains controversial.We reviewed the historical and current literature from 1979 to 2010 regarding the natural course of IMN and the possible treatments giving special

Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 1977
The clinical and histopathological features of 37 patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy are presented. Males were four times as commonly affected as females and the age at presentation ranged from nine to 70 years. The period of observation varied from three months to 23 years.

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy in children

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1982
To determine the prognosis in children with membranous nephropathy, we reviewed the clinicopathologic features and outcome of 22 patients, 11 male and 11 female, age 11 months to 19.9 years (mean 12.0 years). Patients had biopsies within six months of onset of symptoms and were divided into two groups according to the biopsy findings: group 1 (Stages I

Twelve of the patients never received any specific treatment (group A), 15 were treated with a 6-month course of methylpredniso-lone alternated to ...

Identical twins with idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Journal of Nephrology, 2020
The pathogenesis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is associated with autoantibodies, most often against the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and with genetic factors, especially those involving human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is not a typical inherited Mendelian disorder.

Prognostic factors in idiopathic membranous nephropathy

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1998
Membranous nephropathy is the most frequent cause of glomerulonephritis in adults with nephrotic syndrome. Approximately one quarter of the patients develop end-stage renal disease. Another quarter enters complete remission during follow-up. Treating all patients with membranous nephropathy with immunosuppressive drugs would unnecessarily expose at ...

Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy in Children in China

Fetal and Pediatric Pathology, 2015
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), which was the result from non-SLE, non-hepatitis B or C virus infection, is relatively rare in children. We collected 584 pediatric cases of renal biopsy specimens in children hospitalized in Xijing Hospital from Jan 2008 to Dec 2013. We found that IgA nephropathy (27.9%) and Henoch-Schönlein purpura (26.4%) are
