Insights From Mayo Clinic Consensus Report on Membranous Nephropathy

Dr. Karl Nath, Editor in Chief of Mayo Clinic Proceedings shares insights from his article appearing online early and in the November 2023 issue where he provides and executive summary of a consensus review also appearing online early and published jointly in Mayo Clinic Proceedings and Kidney International. He notes the primary-secondary classification of membranous nephropathy served the discipline of nephrology for many years, but in truth, it was essentially a temporary classification that awaited discoveries held together by the umbrella of the terms “primary” and “secondary.” Dr. Nath also notes the Mayo Clinic Consensus Report proposes a novel 2-step classification that incorporates recent discoveries, is clinically based, and, importantly, assimilates new knowledge that points the way ahead for further discoveries in membranous nephropathy.
