Membranous nephropathy is a glomerular disease that may be caused by exogenous risk factors in genetically predisposed individuals (primary MN) or may be associated with other autoimmune diseases, drug exposure, or cytotoxic agents (secondary MN). Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is an autoimmune disease in which antigens—mainly the phospholipase A2 receptor—are located in the podocytes and are targeted by circulating antibodies, leading to in situ formation of immune complexes that activate the complement system. Clinically, the disease is characterized by nephrotic syndrome (NS) and associated complications. The outcome of PMN can vary, but untreated patients with NS may progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in 35–40% of cases within 10 years. Treatment primarily aims to prevent NS complications and progression to ESKD. The most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs are rituximab, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and calcineurin inhibitors. Most patients may experience an improvement of proteinuria, which can sometimes be followed by NS relapse. Fewer than 50% of patients with PMN achieve complete and stable remission. In addition to immunosuppressive therapy, antiproteinuric, anti-lipemic, and anticoagulant medicaments are often required.
