The value of PLA2R antigen and IgG subclass staining relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differential diagnosis of membranous nephropathy

Abstract: Background The diagnostic performance of PLA2R and IgG subclass staining of kidney biopsies relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differentiation of primary and secondary membranous nephropathy (pMN, sMN) was examined. Besides PLA2R staining – which has a lower specificity than anti-PLA2R antibody serology – there is insufficient knowledge to decide which IgG1-4 subtype immunohistological patterns (IgG4-dominance, IgG4-dominance/IgG1-IgG4-codominance or IgG4-dominance/IgG4-codominance wi… Show more

“… 145 Novel target antigens and autoantibodies identified in PMN have also appeared in SMN caused by malignant tumors or autoimmune disease. 146 , 147 , 148 Meanwhile, due to the unique clinical and pathological phenotypes of many forms of MN associated with novel MN target antigens, Mayo Clinic suggests that a new classification of MN could be proposed based on novel target antigens. 60 , 61 Whether the new classification could improve the specificity and sensitivity of target antigen detection and guide treatment more effectively requires further investigation.…”
