Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is still the most common glomerular disease associated with nephrotic syndrome. The greater the proteinuria, the greater the long-term risk for renal failure. In addition, patients who have membranous nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome have significant morbidity and mortality, in particular related to thromboembolic ...

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives. [PDF]
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

Rituximab in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Selective depletion of B cells with the mAb rituximab may benefit the autoimmune glomerular disease idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). Here, we describe our experience treating 100 consecutive IMN patients with persistent nephrotic syndrome with rituximab. We defined complete remission as persistent proteinuria

Risk HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 alleles in idiopathic membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Background: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is a major cause of the nephrotic syndrome in adults, but its etiologic basis is not fully understood. We investigated the genetic basis of biopsy-proven cases of idiopathic membranous nephropathy in a white ...

Autophagy activation protects against podocyte injury in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway is a vital autophagy regulatory pathway. Metformin promotes autophagy, whereas rapamycin is an autophagy agonist.

Treatment of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Exciting progress recently has been made in our understanding of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, as well as treatment of this disease. Here, we review important advances regarding the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy. We will also review the current approach to treatment and its limitations and will highlight new therapies that are currently ...
