Aim. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) has a varied clinical course that requires accurate prediction as a prerequisite for treatment administration. Currently, its prognosis relies on proteinuria, a clinical parameter whose onset lags behind kidney injury. Increased urinary excretion of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and nephrin has been reported in a number of IMN-like glomerular diseases in which they reflected disease severity. However, little or nothing is known of the importance of these biomarkers in IMN, a major cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. To highlight their potential, we measured both biomarkers and assessed their relationships with key parameters of renal function in IMN. Methods. We quantified urinary MMP-9 and nephrin in 107 biopsy-proven IMN patients and 70 healthy subjects by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We then compared biomarker levels between patients and healthy subjects and among patients with different clinical features. We also determined the relationship of each biomarker with proteinuria and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Results. Urinary MMP-9 and nephrin were significantly higher in IMN compared to healthy controls. Unlike nephrin, MMP-9 correlated significantly with proteinuria and was significantly higher among patients with nephrotic range proteinuria. Both biomarkers were correlated with eGFR, but only MMP-9 was significantly higher in patients with eGFR less than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that urinary MMP-9 holds a greater potential than urinary nephrin in monitoring the severity of IMN.
