Is membranous kidney disease serious?

The severity of membranous nephropathy is related to the degree of renal damage and whether there are complications.

The prognosis of this disease is related to the degree of pathological changes, the age of illness, persistent proteinuria, renal function at the time of onset, anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody titer, and whether there are complications.

1. Degree of pathological changes: The prognosis of people with severe renal damage is relatively poor.

2. Age: The long-term remission rate of young patients is higher than that of elderly patients.

3. Sex: The prognosis of women is better than that of men.

4. Complications: The prognosis of people with serious complications such as renal failure is poor.

5. PLA2R antibody titer: The lower the titer, the better the prognosis.

After regular treatment, most patients with membranous nephropathy can be effectively controlled and the disease progression is delayed. Therefore, no matter what the prognosis, they should be actively treated.
