Membranous nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2023
Membranous nephropathy is a glomerulopathy, which main affected target is the podocyte, and has consequences on the glomerular basement membrane. It is more common in adults, especially over 50 years of age.

Rituximab in Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International Reports, 2021
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome among adults. The identification of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) as target antigen in most patients changed the management of MN dramatically, and provided a rationale for B-cell depleting agents such as rituximab. The efficacy of rituximab in inducing remission has

Advances in Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a rare auto-immune disease where the glomerulus is targeted by circulating auto-antibodies mostly against podocyte antigens, which results in the formation of electron-dense immune complexes, activation of complement and massive proteinuria.

Treatment of membranous nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2001
Several therapeutic approaches have been tried in patients with membranous nephropathy. Corticosteroids have been largely used, but a meta-analysis of the available controlled trials did not show any benefit of corticosteroids either in favouring remission of the nephrotic syndrome or in preventing renal dysfunction.

IMMUNODIAGNOSIS IN MEMBRANOUS NEPHROPATHY

open access: yesWiadomości Lekarskie, 2020
One of the diseases leading to chronic end-stage renal disease is membranous nephropathy (MN). The main cause of this disease is the formation of antibodies to foreign and native antigens. Membranous nephropathy can be conventionally divided into 2 types: primary form (when the primary disease is unknown) and secondary form.

Hyperlipidemia in membranous nephropathy. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Kidney J
ABSTRACT Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common glomerular disease leading to nephrotic syndrome in adults, clinically characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and prominent hyperlipidemia. Growing evidence suggests that hyperlipidemia is not merely a secondary consequence of MN, but may also play a critical role in the

Immunology of membranous nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
Accounting for about 20 to 50% of cases of primary nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. A rat model created nearly 60 years ago to research the primary MN disorder, Heymann nephritis, has provided us with a plethora of important information.

The Mayo Clinic consensus report on membranous nephropathy; a promising step toward better treating the disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nephropharmacology
Membranous nephropathy is an immune complex disease caused by subepithelial deposits. The pathological manifestations of membranous nephropathy are considered by the creation of immune complexes in the epithelial cells of the glomerular basement membrane.
