Of the glomerulonephritis associated with sarcoidosis, membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most prevalent. Coincidence or a causal relationship between these two diseases is unclear. Here, we present for the first time a high prevalence of PLA2R-related MN among patients with MN associated with active sarcoidosis. Our results suggest some causal link between sarcoidosis and PLA2R-related MN. Detection of anti-PLA2R antibodies in serum or PLA2R antigen in biopsy should not be taken as evidence against a secondary cause, particularly sarcoidosis. This important observation can affect treatment decision in these patients.
在与结节病相关的肾小球肾炎中,膜性肾病(MN)最为常见。这两种疾病是巧合还是存在因果关系尚不清楚。在这里,我们首次报道了在活动期结节病相关 MN 患者中 PLA2R 相关 MN 的高患病率。我们的结果表明结节病和 PLA2R 相关 MN 之间存在某种因果关系。在血清中检测到抗 PLA2R 抗体或在活检中检测到 PLA2R 抗原不应被视为继发原因的证据,尤其是结节病。这一重要观察结果可能会影响这些患者的治疗决策。
