Urinary IgG excretion as a prognostic factor in idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
In membranous nephropathy it would be of great value to be able to identify in an early phase patients at highest risk for disease progression, since potentially toxic treatment could then be restricted to these patients only. We measured renal hemodynamics, serum proteins and urinary protein excretion in 22 patients with membranous nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome and normal renal function (end...

متن کاملUrinary excretion of fatty acid-binding proteins in idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
BACKGROUND It is suggested that proteinuria contributes to progressive renal failure by inducing tubular cell injury. The site of injury is unknown. Most studies have used markers of proximal tubular cell damage. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are intracellular carrier proteins with different expression in the kidney. Liver-type FABP (L-FABP) is found in the cytoplasm of proximal tubules, ...
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 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...
