Background. Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an immunocomplex glomerular disease, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Numerous studies have established that autoantibodies against the target podocyte autoantigens, including the ...

Background: Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) has been identified as a major autoantigen in primary membranous nephropathy (MN). We evaluated the association between anti-PLA2R antibodies and clinical outcome in Korean patients with primary MN.

Modern view on the complement system role in membranous nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy (MN), an immune-mediated glomerular disease, is the most common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. In MN, proteinuria is developed by podocyte damage due to the complement system activation in response to the subepithelial ...

The Role of PLA2R Antibody in Treatment of Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the leading causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Some cases are associated with malignancy, infections, autoimmune systemic diseases, or drugs, but most are of an autoimmune nature, being referred to as primary (PMN).1 The natural course is variable and unpredictable: approximately one-third of patients with PMN

Tacrolimus Prevents TWEAK-Induced PLA2R Expression in Cultured Human Podocytes [PDF]
Primary membranous nephropathy is usually caused by antibodies against the podocyte antigen membrane M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R). The treatment of membranous nephropathy is not fully satisfactory. The calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus is used

Management of Membranous Nephropathy in the PLA2R Era [PDF]
Membranous nephropathy (MN) occurs when circulating antibodies permeate the glomerular basement membrane and in the subepithelial space, form immune complexes with epitopes on podocyte membranes.
