Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a rare autoimmune disease, in which the circulating autoantibodies against antigens attack podocytes. Neural Epidermal Growth Factor like 1 (NELL1) 1-associated MN is the second most common antigen, following phospholipase A2 receptor. Complementary and alternative medicine and malignancies play a pivotal role in the development of NELL1-MN. This retrospective study describes the clinical characteristics, therapeutic strategies, and longitudinal outcomes in patients with NELL1-MN at our center.
膜性肾病(MN)是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,其中针对抗原的循环自身抗体攻击足细胞。神经表皮生长因子样1(NELL1)相关的MN是第二常见的抗原,仅次于磷脂酶A2受体。补充和替代医学以及恶性肿瘤在NELL1-MN的发展中起关键作用。这项回顾性研究描述了我们中心NELL1-MN患者的临床特征、治疗策略和长期预后。
