Hypercholesterolemia Correlates With Glomerular Phospholipase A2 Receptor Deposit and Serum Anti-Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody and Predicts Proteinuria Outcome in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
BackgroundThe anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody is a non-invasive diagnostic tool and prognosis predictor of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). Baseline hypercholesterolemia independently predicts proteinuria outcomes in IMN patients.

Neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 expression predicts end-stage renal disease in phospholipase A2 receptor–negative membranous nephropathy: A retrospective cohort stratified by systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
Background Neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 protein has emerged as a significant antigen in membranous nephropathy, an important cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults.

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies directly induced podocyte damage in vitro [PDF]
Background The pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (MN) involves the antibodies against antigens on the cell surface of podocytes, with the majority of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), and a profound podocyte dysfunction.

Presence of M-type Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody in Membranous Nephropathy
Objective: The presence of autoantibodies against M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) is a characteristic of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).
