Prevalence of Enhanced Granular Expression of Thrombospondin Type-1 Domain-Containing 7A in the Glomeruli of Japanese Patients with Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Autoantibodies against M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A), which mainly belong to the IgG4 subclass, were reported as associated antibodies for the development of MN. Although PLA2R is a major target antigen for idiopathic MN, the prevalence of MN patient...
متن کاملAutoantibodies against Phospholipase A2 Receptor in Korean Patients with Membranous Nephropathy
The data were presented in abstract form at the 45(th) meeting of the American Society of Nephrology, October 30-November 04 2012, San Diego, CA, USA. Circulating autoantibodies against M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) are important pathogenic antibodies of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN) in adults. However, previous studies on the clinical impact of anti-PLA2R antibodies demonst...
متن کاملDifferential diagnosis of membranous nephropathy with autoantibodies to phospholipase A2 receptor 1.
Membranous nephropathy (MN) accounts for most cases of the nephrotic syndrome in adults. Recently, studies on the underlying pathomechanisms led to the identification of the podocyte M-type receptor for secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2R1) as a target antigen of circulating autoantibodies. Autoantibodies to PLA2R1 may not only play a role in the development of primary MN, but also serve as a mar...
متن کاملMembranous Nephropathy
A forty-three year old female applied for a $200,000 ten year decreasing term policy. She admitted a history of "kidney disorder" on the application. She was not being treated or having any symptoms but stated that she was under observation. A routine paramed exam showed height 5’4", weight 140 lbs, and blood pressure 110/70. The BCP was normal. The HOS showed 210 mg/dl proteinuria. A reflex de...
متن کاملMembranous Nephropathy
Forty-one patients with a nephrotic syndrome and biopsy-proven membranous nephropathy were administered a 3 to 6-month course of cyclosporine (CsA; 4 to 5 mg/kg per day). Differential solute clearances were used to evaluate glomerular function before and after therapy. CsA lowered median proteinuria by 56%, from 7.3 to 3.2 g/24 h (P < 0.0001). Corresponding mean increments in serum albumin, imm...
