Editor's Notes

  1. This is important in patients for whom kidney biopsy poses a high risk, such as those needing anticoagulation for thromboembolic disease and patients with a single kidney.
  2. Western blotting, which is both sensitive and very specific for the detection of anti- PLA2R when recombinant human PLA2R is used as the antigen. However, the technique is costly, labor intensive, and impractical for routine clinical use. compared with the Western blot assay for anti-PLA2R, the commercial IIFA and ELISA tests are highly specific for primary MN versus secondary MN and other forms of glomerular disease, although the ELISA is somewhat less sensitive using the recommended cutoff for positivity. Although the IIFA is relatively high throughput, anti-PLA2R titers are semiquantitative and observer dependent, and reactivity with other baseline cell antigens may occasionally predispose to equivocal results. It is generally used as an initial screening assay, much like antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody assays, before proceeding to the highthroughput and more quantitative and specific ELISA.
  3. Control: 50 normal healthy controls, 41 nephrotic disease controls (patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome in which biopsy revealed underlying cause different from IMN

  5. Control: 50 normal healthy controls, 41 nephrotic disease controls (patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome in which biopsy revealed underlying cause different from IMN 
  6. PLA2R antibody levels associated with clinical disease activity (proteinuria) in patients with immunosuppressive therapy (n=101) or supportive care (n=32).
  7. Serum levels of PLA2R-Ab were first measured by an indirect immunofluorescence test (8,13). After development of an ELISA (14) by EUROIMMUN AG, we continued measurements of total IgG and IgG4 subclass PLA2R-Ab by ELISA. the ELISA results were considered positive at a level .20 units/ml for IgG PLA2R-Ab and .0.259 units/ml for IgG4 PLA2R-Ab.
  8. Within 3 months after the start of the immunosuppressive therapy (0 months), proteinuria decreases by 39% and PLA2R antibody levels by 81%. Proteinuria continuously declines during the further follow-up, whereas PLA2R antibody levels remained low. *P < 0.05, statistically significant difference between the single time point and the start of immunosuppression (0 months
  9. higher anti-PLA2R titers within two years of diagnosis predicted substantially greater progression of kidney function decline over the subsequent five years of follow-up
  10. De Novo: most likely the result of alloantibodies in the transplant rather than the autoantibodies responsible for recurrent primary MN. associated with evidence of antibody-mediated rejection and circulating donor specific antibodies.80-82 Whereas IgG4 is usually the dominant or codominant IgG subclass deposited in recurrent MN, the IgG1 subclass predominates in de novo MN.83 Assays for circulating anti-PLA2R antibodies or staining for PLA2R on kidney biopsy specimens almost always gives negative results in patients with de novo MN.84 PLA2R positivity is an ideal tool for differentiating between recurrent and de novo MN in patients in whom the original cause of ESRD was unknown.
  11. a minority of patients who are seropositive for anti-PLA2R antibodies exhibit no staining for PLA2R within the immune deposits of their corresponding biopsy specimens. This may represent masking by autoantibodies of epitopes recognized by the commercial antibody used for IF staining, but has not yet been fully explored.
