Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis with detection of myeloperoxidase and phospholipase A2 receptor in membranous nephropathy-lesions: report of two patients with microscopic polyangiitis

Abstract Background Podocyte phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is a major target antigen in idiopathic adult membranous nephropathy (MN). Histological PLA2R staining in the renal tissue has proven to be useful for the detection of idiopathic MN. However, glomerular PLA2R deposits have also been rece...
