Cyclophosphamide induced early remission and was superior to rituximab in idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients with high anti-PLA2R antibody levels.

Rituximab (RTX) and cyclophosphamide (CYC) based treatments are both recommended as first-line therapies in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) by KDIGO 2021 guideline. However, the efficacy of RTX vs. CYC-based treatments in IMN is still controversial.

Late venous laceration after inappropriate placement of a left internal jugular hemodialysis catheter: a case report.
