Clinical and pathological characteristics of NELL-1-positive membranous nephropathy: a case series study
NELL-1-positive MN is characterized by high rates of IgG1 and IgG4 deposition and generally favorable responses to therapy. A substantial proportion of patients were diagnosed with malignancy, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in this population. Timely identification and management of underlying malignancy may contribute to improved renal outcomes.
