Abstract Membranous nephropathy (MN) is defined as disease entity characterized by thickening of the glomerular basement membranes due to subepithelial (SE) deposition immune complexes. It typically classified into primary MN (70%) when there no association, and secondary (30%) an underlying association such lupus, malignancy, infections or drugs. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) are target antigens in 70% 1–5% MN, respectively. The remaining were not known. Recently, multiple novel proteins/target have been identified MN. These include exostosin 1/2, neural epidermal growth-like 1 protein, semaphorin 3B, protocadherin 7 cell adhesion molecule 1. Some these present setting some both, thus blurring lines between Preliminary studies show that each new antigen-associated has distinct clinical, kidney biopsy findings outcome data. We propose protein/antigen-associated a specific results common pattern injury thickened membrane (GBM) with without spikes pinholes on light microscopy, granular immunoglobulin G complement 3 immunofluorescence microscopy SE electron-dense deposits electron microscopy.

Membranous nephropathy (MN) occurs due to deposition of immune complexes along the subepithelial region glomerular basement membrane. Two previously identified target antigens for complexes, PLA2R (identified in 2009) and THSD7A (in 2014), account approximately 60% all MN, both primary secondary. In remaining were unknown. Use laser microdissection mass spectrometry enabled identification new “antigens.” This approach led four novel types MN: exotosin 1 (EXT1)– 2 (EXT2)–associated NELL1-associated Sema3B-associated PCDH7-associated MN. Each these represents a distinct disease entity, with different clinical pathologic findings. this review, structure proteins findings MN are discussed. The role accurate diagnosis cannot be overemphasized. Finally, any classification should made on basis that detected. Further studies required understand pathophysiology, response treatment, outcomes MNs.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological pattern of glomerular injury, rather than single disease, that caused by diverse clinicopathological entities with different mechanisms injury the podocyte as principal target lesion, leading to characteristic sclerotic lesions in parts (i.e., focal) some segmental) glomeruli. The lesion FSGS has shown an increasing prevalence over past few decades and considered most common cause ESKD. Primary FSGS, which usually presents nephrotic syndrome, thought be circulating permeability factors have main role foot process effacement.

ABSTRACT The histopathological lesions, minimal change disease (MCD) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are entities without immune complex deposits which can cause podocyte injury, thus frequently grouped under the umbrella of podocytopathies. Whether MCD FSGS may represent a spectrum same remains matter conjecture. Both require repeated high-dose glucocorticoid therapy with alternative immunosuppressive treatments reserved for relapsing or resistant cases response rates variable. There is an unmet need to identify patients who should receive therapies as opposed those would benefit from supportive strategies. Therapeutic trials focusing on scarce, evidence used 2021 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline management glomerular diseases largely stems observational pediatric trials.

The glomerular filtration barrier, comprising the inner layer of capillary fenestrated endothelial cells, outermost podocytes, and basement membrane between them, plays a pivotal role in kidney function. Podocytes, terminally differentiated epithelial are challenging to regenerate once injured. They essential for maintaining integrity barrier. Damage resulting from intrinsic or extrinsic factors, leads proteinuria early stages eventually progresses chronic disease (CKD). Immune-mediated podocyte injury is primary pathogenic mechanism proteinuric diseases, including minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis with involvement. An extensive body evidence indicates that podocytes not only contribute significantly maintenance barrier serve as targets immune responses but also exhibit cell-like characteristics, participating both innate adaptive immunity. play mediating represent potential therapeutic CKD. This review aims systematically elucidate mechanisms various lesions provide an overview recent advances immunotherapy.
