Understanding PLA2 Receptor Antibody - Qualitative-serum
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is caused by the immune system making antibodies that attack the kidneys. These antibodies damage part of the kidney called the glomerulus. This damage causes protein to leak into the urine. The PLA2 Receptor Antibody - Qualitative-serum test helps doctors find out about this disease. It may also help assess the disease activity and response.
The PLA2 Receptor Antibody - Qualitative-serum test is done for people who show signs of kidney problems. These signs include protein in...
