Membranous nephropathy: a radioimmunologic search for anti-renal tubular epithelial antibodies and circulating immune complexes.

abstract：:A 58-year-old woman who suffered from a heterozygous Fabry's disease and immune complex crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) is reviewed. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the pathologic findings and peripheral leukocyte alpha-galactosidase activity. Light microscopy revealed a vacuolization of epithelial cells and...
