Perspectives in membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2021 AbstractThe identification of the phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing protein 7A (THSD7A) as podocyte antigens in adult patients with membranous nephropathy (MN) has strongly impacted both experimental and clinical research on this disease. Evidence has been furnished that podocyte-directed autoantibodies can

Genetics of membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2017 An HLA-DR3 association with membranous nephropathy (MN) was described in 1979 and additional evidence for a genetic component to MN was suggested in 1984 in reports of familial MN. In 2009, a pathogenic autoantibody was identified against the phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1).

Treatment of membranous nephropathy: Perspectives on current and future therapies
Frontiers in Nephrology, 2023 Primary membranous nephropathy remains one of the most frequent causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. It is an autoimmune disorder in which auto-antibodies target antigens at the podocytes cell membrane–basement membrane interface. Our understanding of

Primary Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2017 Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a unique glomerular lesion that is the most common cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in nondiabetic white adults. About 80% of cases are renal limited (primary MN, PMN) and 20% are associated with other systemic diseases or exposures (secondary MN). This review focuses only on PMN.

Journal of Nephrology, 2007 Abstract Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a glomerular disease characterized by proteinuria, usually in a nephrotic range, and variable natural course. The etiology is unknown in many cases, while in some patients, MN may be secondary to infection, to other diseases, or to exposure to drugs and toxic substances.
