Article Synopsis
- Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, characterized by thickened glomerular membranes and spiky appearances; immunofluorescence can help diagnose it, especially when compared to minimal change disease (MCD).
- The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of C4d labeling through immunohistochemistry in distinguishing MN from MCD when standard biopsy analysis is inconclusive.
- Results showed that C4d deposits were present in all MN cases (27 patients), while no C4d was detected in any MCD cases (21 patients), highlighting that C4d can be a reliable marker for differential diagnosis.
