What is membranous nephropathy

summary

My grandfather has membranous nephropathy, which belongs to secondary membranous nephropathy, mainly because he has rheumatoid arthritis. This disease is not only complex, but also difficult to treat, so it needs to be actively controlled and treated. Let's see what is membranous nephropathy.

What is membranous nephropathy

First of all, membranous nephropathy is a pathomorphological diagnostic term, which is a common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. Its characteristic pathological change is the deposition of a large number of immune complexes on the epithelial side of glomerular capillary loop.

Secondly, membranous nephropathy can be divided into idiopathic and secondary membranous nephropathy. People over the age of 40 are more likely to get sick, and the symptoms of the disease are hidden at the beginning.

Finally: there are also great controversies about the immunotherapy scheme and its efficacy evaluation of membranous nephropathy. It is generally believed that glucocorticoid alone (hereinafter referred to as hormone) is ineffective, and hormone + cyclophosphamide (CTX) or cyclosporine A (CSA) treatment can make some patients achieve clinical remission.
