Membranous nephropathy: key notes
- Most common cause of the nephrotic syndrome
- Idiopathic vs secondary MN
– Malignancy a cause in the elderly
- Natural history
– Unchanged despite more aggressive conservative therapy – Progressive renal failure in 40-50% of patients
- Immunosuppressive therapy
– Improves outcome
- Risk markers
– Allow accurate prediction of prognosis
- MN may recur after Renal Transplantation
– Recurrences more likely in LRD transplantation
