| Abstract | Introduction Over half of the patients with hepatitis B virus associated membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN) were found to be phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) positive. Whether MN is really secondary to hepatitis B or just coincidence of hepatitis and PLA2R positive idiopathic MN (IMN) remains controversial. Methods We retrospectively studied seven PLA2R positive HBV-MN patients with complete data in Huashan Hospital from 2009 to 2016 and compared them with PLA2R positive idiopathic MN patients. Results Proteinuria and renal function of these 7 HBV-MN patients were similar to that of IMN patients. However, 5 of them were female and half showed hypocomplementemia, while in IMN group only 32.4% were female and 20% had hypocomplementemia, and the level of hematuria was 94.5/μL in HBV-MN patients and 64.9 /μL in IMN patients, though there was no statistically significant difference. Renal biopsies revealed significantly increased mesangial eletron-deposits in HBV-MN patients. All 7 patients received antiviral therapy, and one patient received immunosuppresants due to severe nephrotic syndrome with acute myocardial infarction and elevated serum creatinine. Compared with IMN group, the prevalence of remission without immunosuppressive therapy of HBV-MN patients was higher (85.7% vs. 43.7%), while the percentage of patients receiving immunosuppresants was lower (14.3% vs. 47.9%) (P=0.048). Conclusion Compared with IMN patients, PLA2R positive HBV-MN patients had a more favorable prognosis after antiviral therapy, indicating a secondary form of MN. For these patients, antiviral treatment is recommended and long observation time should be provided before use of immunosuppressive treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
