Anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) antibody is believed to be associated with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) and absent in secondary MN (sMN). There are few data regarding utility of anti-PLA2R antibody as a prognosticator. Our study aimed to compare the incidence of positive serum anti-PLA2R antibody titer in pMN versus sMN and correlation with clinical outcome. From August 2015 to July 2019, patients with biopsy-proven MN were evaluated for serum anti-PLA2R antibody titers by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The subset of cases was repeated to monitor the clinical response in terms of 24 h proteinuria. A total of 169 patients, 65 pMN and 104 sMN were studied. Anti-PLA2R antibody was found in 41 (63.08%) pMN with mean titer, 232.62 RU/mL, and 40 (38.46%) sMN with mean titer 253.59 RU/mL. Out of positive antiPLA2R antibody titer in pMN cases, 15 were retested twice to 5 times with mean titers of 78.95, 36.27, 13.9, and 15.45 RU/mL, respectively. Out of positive anti-PLA2R antibody in sMN cases, 11 were retested twice to five times with mean titers of 104.42, 122.49, 12.33, and 17.2 RU/mL, respectively. All patients with decreasing anti-PLA2R antibody titer in both groups had clinical remission, with a decrease in mean 24 h proteinuria from 7.11 g to 3.36 g in pMN and 5.97 g to 3.41 g in sMN. Ten pMN and 11 sMN patients without remission showed persistent positive anti- PLA2R antibody titer. Anti-PLA2R antibody titer may be elevated in pMN/sMN. It can also be used as a noninvasive prognostic marker for MN.

D011507 Proteinuria The presence of proteins in the urine, an indicator of KIDNEY DISEASES. Proteinurias
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
