Membranous Lupus Nephritis

Membranous nephropathy is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in the adult population. According to the underlying etiology, membranous nephropathy is classified as either primary or secondary. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that can affect the kidneys in 50% of patients in the course of the disease. Renal disease may be the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and the development of systemic findings may be delayed for about 1–5 years following the diagnosis of lupus nephritis. We present a 59-year-old male patient who had a diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy since 2007 and developed membranous lupus nephritis during the 12-year follow-up without any extrarenal systemic lupus erythematosus findings.

Th1 And Th2

Lupus nephritis, which has various histological patterns and variable clinical outcomes, is one of the most important complications of systemic lupus nephritis (SLE). This pathogenetic mechanism in each histologically different type of lupus nephritis (LN) remains unclear. Although SLE is suggested to be a Th2-driven disease, elevation of both Th1 and Th2 cytokines occurs in both humans and mice, suggesting that SLE is a complex disease driven by different lymphocyte subsets with high heterogeneity of clinical manifestations and organ involvement. Recent findings in LN elucidate an essential role for the Th1, IL-17 producing T cells and Th17 cells in the development of diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis (DPLN), and Th2 cytokine in that of membranous lupus nephritis (MLN). These data support the hypothesis that individual Th1/Th2 balance is one of the critical determinants for histopathology of LN.
