Membranous glomerulonephritis.

PMCID: PMC499671  PMID: 3950037

Abstract

In a clinicopathological survey of idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) in 85 patients the predominance of the condition among men could be at least partly explained by an increased risk of exposure to organic solvents and heavy metals in the course of work. This may have implications for the advice given to these patients after MGN has been diagnosed. The selectivity of proteinuria could predict the likely outcome of the disease.
