Abstract:
:Membranous nephropathy (MN), the most common cause of adult-onset nephrotic syndrome (NS) in Caucasians, is associated commonly with the secondary complications of hyperlipidemia and hypercoagulability. These may increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, alter the rate of progression of renal disease, and raise the risk for thromboembolic events. The treatment of these secondary effects remains controversial. Although no clear practice guidelines are available to assist the clinician in deciding how and when to start disease-modifying therapies, the literature provides enough information to make reasonable decisions in most clinical scenarios. Prospective trials in the future will provide definitive information on how to best treat these abnormalities.

杂志文章,评审abstract::Membranous nephropathy remains the most common cause of the nephrotic syndrome in adults. Most patients do well with long-term natural history studies reporting a 10-year renal survival of 70% to 90% but the remainder progress to end stage renal failure. This plus the associated morbidity of those with persistent high...
