Use of specific terminology in reporting of glomerular diseases
Old terminology | Examples of new more specific terminology |
---|---|
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy | Membranous nephropathy due to PLA2R antibodies |
MPGN | C3 glomerulonephritis secondary to factor I deficiency |
Idiopathic FSGS | Genetic FSGS due to nephrin deficiency |
ANCA vasculitis | Anti-PR3 granulomatosis with polyangiitis |
MPGN = membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, PLA2R = M-type phospholipase A2 receptor, FSGS = focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, ANCA = antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, PR3 = proteinase-3
