Therapy of membranous nephropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Historic changes in the criteria for pathologic diagnosis and classification of lupus membranous nephropathy (LMN) have precluded definitive descriptions of the natural history, prognosis, and treatment of this disorder. The interim practice, based on the 1982 World Health Organization classification system, of admixing membranous and proliferative lupus nephropathies under the rubric of LMN ha...
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...
متن کاملMembranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy (MN), a very common cause of nephrotic syndrome, is a glomerulopathy defined histopathologically by the presence of immune complexes on the extracapillary side of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is an antibody-mediated glomerular disease with no defined etiology, histologically characterized by uniform thickening of glomerul...
متن کاملDissecting the relationships of IgG subclasses and complements in membranous lupus nephritis and idiopathic membranous nephropathy
Membranous lupus nephritis (MLN) and idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) are kidney diseases with similar morphology, but distinct etiologies, both producing glomeruli with immune deposits. Immunoglobulins and complements, the main components of the deposits, can be detected by immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy. Previous researches characterized the immune deposits only individually, but n...
