Clinicopathological analysis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy in young adults.
The aim of this study was to understand the clinicopathological features and prognosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in youth. A retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological features and prognoses of pathologically confirmed IMN in 21 patients aged 15-30 years was performed. IMN was mainly characterized as nephrotic syndrome (NS), with stage I as the main pathological stage, a...

متن کاملChapter 7: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of MN is made on kidney biopsy. Diagnostic features include capillary wall thickening, normal cellularity, IgG and C3 along capillary walls on immunofluorescence, and subepithelial deposits on electron microscopy. MN is often seen in association with an underlying disorder (secondary MN). Secondary MN is more common in children (75%) than adults (25%) (Table 12). The di...
متن کاملThe clinicopathological implications of endothelial tubuloreticular inclusions found in glomeruli having histopathology of idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
BACKGROUND The pathological recognition of secondary membranous nephropathy (MN) is sometimes difficult, especially in those showing primary idiopathic MN-like histomorphology. The ultrastructural finding of tubuloreticular inclusions (TRIs) in MN always evokes suspicion of their association with underlying diseases such as viral infections and autoimmune diseases. However, it is not clear whet...
