Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple antigenic targets were discovered in membranous nephropathy, representing distinct autoimmune diseases with a similar morphologic pattern of injury. An overview of recent developments, including antigen types, clinical associations, serologic monitoring, and advancements in understanding disease pathogenesis are provided. RECENT FINDINGS Several new antigenic targets have defined subtypes of membranous nephropathy, including Neural epidermal growth factor-like 1, protocadherin 7, HTRA1, FAT1, SEMA3B, NTNG1, NCAM1, exostosin 1/2, transforming growth factor beta receptor 3, CNTN1, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6, and neuron-derived neurotrophic factor. Autoantigens in membranous nephropathy may demonstrate unique clinical associations, assisting the nephrologist to identify potential disease etiologies and triggers, such as autoimmune disease, cancer, medications, and infections. SUMMARY We are entering an exciting era for which an antigen-based approach will further define subtypes of membranous nephropathy, allow for development of noninvasive diagnostics, and improve care for patients.

Abstract
Our understanding of the various aspects of pregnancy in women with kidney diseases has significantly improved in the last decades. Nevertheless, little is known about specific kidney diseases. Glomerular diseases are not only a frequent cause of chronic kidney disease in young women, but combine many challenges in pregnancy: immunologic diseases, hypertension, proteinuria, and kidney tissue damage. An international working group undertook the review of available current literature and elicited expert opinions on glomerular diseases in pregnancy with the aim to provide pragmatic information for nephrologists according to the present state-of-the-art knowledge. This work also highlights areas of clinical uncertainty and emphasizes the need for further collaborative studies to improve maternal and fetal health.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:563094. [PMID: 33363180 PMCID: PMC7758435 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.563094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 3% of pregnancies, impacting on maternal and fetal outcomes, and at the same time, a recurrent question in nephrology regards gestation impact on kidney function. Observational studies stated that CKD stage, pre-existent hypertension, and proteinuria are the main predictors of possible complications, such as maternal CKD progression, maternal or fetal death, prematurity, small for gestational age (SGA) newborn, or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. In this regard, given the prominence of proteinuria among other risk factors, we focused on primary nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy, which accounts for 0.028% of cases, and its impact on materno-fetal outcomes and kidney survival. Data extracted from literature are scattered because of the small cohorts investigated in each trial. However, they showed different outcomes for each glomerular disease, with membranous nephropathy (MN) having a better maternal and fetal prognosis than focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), or minimal change disease (MCD). Nephrotic syndrome does not have to discourage women to undertake a pregnancy, but the correct management may include a specific evaluation of risk factors and follow-up for adverse materno-fetal events and/or maternal kidney disease progression.
