Clinical significance of autoantibodies in the assessment and treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy.

In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that the anti-PLA2R antibody level is correlated with the severity of IMN, whereas anti-AR and anti-SOD2 antibody levels are not. In addition, there was no significant difference between the CTX and FK506 groups in regards to the remission rates of patients with IMN. PMID: 30783455 [PubMed]
