Cytokines Network in Primary Membranous Nephropathy

International Immunopharmacology, 2022
There have been extensive studies on the immunological mechanism of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). Autoantibodies, being the end product of humoral auto-immunity, matter much in diagnosis, therapy and prediction. Although PMN has been thought of as oligoinflammatory glomerulopathy, autoimmune diseases usually involve inflammation and it may be ...

Primary membranous nephropathy: an endless story

Journal of Nephrology, 2022
Abstract Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is an autoimmune disease caused by the attack of autoantibodies against podocyte antigens leading to the in situ production of immune complexes. However, the etiology is unknown and the pathogenesis is still far from being completely elucidated. MN is prevalently idiopathic or primary, but

Translational Aspects of Primary Membranous Nephropathy

Seminars in Nephrology, 2017
Membranous nephropathy (MN) in an autoimmune disease caused by binding of circulating antibodies to podocytic antigens. The search for the responsible target antigens has extended for more than 50 years and led to the identification of the major pathomechanisms leading to MN.

Rituximab for the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy

Canadian Journal of Health Technologies, 2022
Membranous nephropathy is an autoimmune disease and one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. The incidence of membranous nephropathy is 1.2 in 100,000 persons per year worldwide. Approximately 80% of patients with membranous nephropathy have a classification of primary (or idiopathic) membranous nephropathy.

Primary membranous nephropathy in adolescence: A prospective study

Nephrology, 2017
AbstractAimPrimary membranous nephropathy (PMN) accounts for only 1–2% of nephrotic syndrome in children. Antibodies to m‐type phospholipase A2 receptor (aPLA2R) is seen in 70% of adult PMN cases. The present study was undertaken to study m‐type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) status and clinical behavior in adolescent PMN cases.MethodsThe present ...

Primary membranous nephropathy: comprehensive review and historical perspective

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2019
AbstractMembranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic Caucasian adults over 40 years of age. It has an estimated incidence of 8–10 cases per 1 million. Fifty per cent of patients diagnosed with primary MN continue to have nephrotic syndrome and 30% of patients may progress to end-stage renal disease over 10 ...
