Overview

    • The most efficient ans sensitive test is ANA, ds-DNA antibodies specific test that is utilized for diagnosis of membranous glomerulonephritis.
    • The gold standard test for the diagnosis of biopsy.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Gold standard/Study of choice:

  • Biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of membranous glomerulonephritis. [1] [2] [1]

[3][4]

  • The complete blood count, urinalysis, 24 hour urine collection should be performed when:
    • The patient presented with signs of proteinurea and hypertension.
    • A positive [test] is detected in the patient.
  • Biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of membranous glomerulonephritis.

The diagnostic study of choice for membranous glomerulonephritis are:

  • chemistry panel,
  • complete blood count,
  • urinalysis,
  • 24 hours urine collection,
  • creatinine clearance,
  • urine albumin,
  • ANA,
  • anti-doublestandard DNA,
  • anti-SM,
  • anti Ro/SSA,
  • anti La/SSB,
  • serum C3 and C4 Complement levels.
  • Chest CT,
  • Anti PLA2Rantibody.
Diagnostic Test:

Biopsy is confirmatory of membranous glomerulonephritis.

Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The urinalysis and comprehensive chemistry panel should be performed when:

  • The patient presented with signs of hypertension and proteinurea.
  • A positive ANA, anti dsDNA is detected in the patient, to confirm the diagnosis.

Diagnostic Criteria

  • There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of membranous glomerulonephritis.
