Treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
Exciting progress recently has been made in our understanding of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, as well as treatment of this disease. Here, we review important advances regarding the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy. We will also review the current approach to treatment and its limitations and will highlight new therapies that are currently being explored for this disease including Ri...
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 کاملIdiopathic membranous nephropathy preceding the onset of rheumatoid arthritis: a case report.

متن کاملHuman idiopathic membranous nephropathy--a mystery solved?
Just over 50 years ago, the late David Jones1 iden tified (using the periodic acid–Schiff and meth enamine silver stains) the unique glomerular pathologic features of membranous nephropathy, thus distinguishing it from other causes of “ne phrotic glomerulonephritis.” Subsequent immuno fluorescence and electronmicroscopical studies established that membranous nephropathy was also characteri...
متن کاملIdiopathic membranous nephropathy: diagnosis and treatment.
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is still the most common glomerular disease associated with nephrotic syndrome. The greater the proteinuria, the greater the long-term risk for renal failure. In addition, patients who have membranous nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome have significant morbidity and mortality, in particular related to thromboembolic and cardiovascular complications. There is n...
