Treatment of membranous nephropathy: Perspectives on current and future therapies
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]
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.

Profile of Primary Membranous Nephropathy among Membranous Nephropathy Patients Based on PLA2 Receptor Staining in Biopsy [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Membranous nephropathy is one of the common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. MN usually presents with nephrotic syndrome or heavy proteinuria, while renal function is often normal or near normal. Disease progression is variable, with

Rituximab Therapy for Primary Membranous Nephropathy in a Chinese Cohort [PDF]
Background: Rituximab has become one of the first-line therapies for the treatment of moderate and high-risk primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). We retrospectively reviewed 95 patients with pMN who received rituximab therapy and focused on the therapeutic effects and safety of this therapy in a Chinese cohort.Methods: Ninety-five consecutive patients

Clinical Phenotypes and Predictors of Remission in Primary Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
(1) Background: We sought to investigate the clinical outcome and to identify the independent predictors of clinical remission in a prospectively followed cohort of patients with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). (2) Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational, non-interventional study that included 65 consecutive patients diagnosed with pMN
