Membranous nephropathy is a glomerular disease characterized by diffuse subepithelial immune complex deposition along the glomerular basement membrane. It can be both primary and secondary to malignancy and various drugs. An emerging area of concern is heavy metal exposure from use of largely unregulated natural health products. Here we present a case of biopsy-proven membranous nephropathy due to natural health products contaminated with mercury.
膜性肾病是一种肾小球疾病，其特征是沿肾小球基底膜有弥漫性上皮下免疫复合物沉积。它既可以是原发性的，也可以继发于恶性肿瘤和各种药物。一个新出现的令人担忧的领域是使用基本未受监管的天然保健品导致的重金属暴露。在此，我们报告一例经活检证实的因被汞污染的天然保健品导致的膜性肾病病例。
