...Jia Wang; Miao Wang; Zhao Cui; Ming-hui Zhao Background and Aim: Primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Recent studies suggested that immunization of DBA/1 mice with the main antigen of antiglomerular basement membrane disease (GBM) disease...

.... Methods: We reviewed all cases of AAV secondary to LAC at our institution. Results: We report 3 cases of AAV secondary to LAC and associated membranous nephropathy (MN). The first and second cases are concurrent AAV secondary to LAC and associated MN while the third case involves the development of MN...

...Amr El-Husseini; David Saxon; Stuart Jennings; Virgilius Cornea; Laurence Beck; B. Peter Sawaya Background: In adults, membranous nephropathy (MN) is a major cause of nephrotic syndrome. While a majority of cases of MN are idiopathic, secondary forms can be seen in the setting of autoimmune disease...

...), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and membranous nephropathy (MN). Methods: Kidney biopsy specimens from ANCAGN (17), MPGN (11), and MN (14) patients were evaluated for mRNA expression of various T-cell cytokines. Results: Interferon-γ mRNA expression was detected in both ANCAGN and MPGN, but not in MN...

... retrospective, observational studies. Methods: In this prospective, open-label study (NCT01129284), 15 subjects with resistant glomerular diseases were treated with ACTH gel (80 units subcutaneously twice weekly) for 6 months.
