Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody levels at diagnosis predicts outcome of TAC-based treatment for idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients

Abstract Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) is recognized as an organ-specific autoimmune disease, mainly caused by anti-PLA2R antibody. This study aimed to study between anti-PLA2R antibody level at diagnosis and the response to tacrolimus (TAC)-based treatment in iMN patients. Meth...
