Is the diagnosis obvious ?
Should we check labs?

Biopsy done in v/o proteinuria : Class 1
Can it be podocytopathy
Thank you for a good case prsentation

⚡️PLA2R antibody seropositivity doesn’t mean that we do not investigate for underlying malignancies.

@dramiliflores.bsky.social @karnephro.bsky.social @myadla.bsky.social @dilushiwijay.bsky.social
👉 🫣 Can IF differentiate from Primary and Secondary MN?
IgG 4 is the dominant class in primary MN
👉 IgG1,IgG2, IgG3 are dominant Immunoglobulins in Secondary MN

Paraneoplastic glomerulopathy can occur before /sfter or simultaneously with the diagnosis of MN
Need for evaluation of cases of MN for underlying malignancy is suggested

🔬 The characteristic histopathologic features of MN, light microscopy, IF, EM, are falling into place.
So… where are we in this case? Granular IgG, GBM thickening, no crescents...
What do you think?

A positive anti-PLA2R antibody test is “virtually” diagnostic of a lesion of MN (but may not always be able to reliably distinguish primary and secondary forms) #ECNeph #MedSky #NephSky @kdjhaveri.bsky.social @dramiliflores.bsky.social @karnephro.bsky.social
