Clinical profile and outcome of primary membranous nephropathy: A tertiary care center experience from North India
PLA2R-associated MN was the most common form of MN, followed by NELL-1. Primary MN prevalence was highest in the fifth and sixth decades of life, with a slight female preponderance observed in this study. Most patients belonged to the high-risk group. Immunosuppression led to complete remission in over 80% of patients, with no significant difference in remission rates between different immunosuppressive agents. This study provides initial insights into MN in the local patient population, despite its limitations of being a single-center observational study with a relatively small sample size and short follow-up.
