Clinical usefulness of anti-M-type phospholipase-A-receptor antibodies in patients with membranous nephropathy and the comparison of three quantification methods

Clinical usefulness of anti-M-type phospholipase-A-receptor antibodies in patients with membranous nephropathy and the comparison of three quantification methods

Associations between anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies and disease activity and prognosis have been suggested in primary membranous nephropathy (MN); however, more evidence is needed. We aimed to establish a clinically useful method to measure anti-PLA2R antibodies. We develop...
