Research Article: Association of M-Type Phospholipase A Receptor Deposition in Kidney Tissue with Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy
Introduction:
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is an autoimmune glomerulopathy commonly seen in clinical practice. Its incidence has been increasing in recent years, making it the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults worldwide. IMN is characterized by diffuse thickening of the glomerular basement membrane accompanied by the deposition of many immune complexes under epithelial cells.
