Abstract: Objective To investigate the early detection and diagnosis of the expression levels of serum M-type phosphatase A2 receptor (PLA2R) combined with renal tissue IgG4 in adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy, and to explore its significance. MethodForty-two adult patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy admitted to Qingdao Shibei District Geriatric Hospital (Qingdao Shibei District People's Hospital) from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the observation group, while 34 patients with minimal lesions of kidney disease admitted during the same period were selected as control group A and 30 patients with membranous nephropathy were selected as control group B. The observation group was treated with cyclosporin A combined with glucocorticoid. The serum M-type phosphatase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and renal tissue IgG4 levels were compared in several groups of patients. ResultThere were no significant differences in gender, age, disease duration, 24-hour urine protein, serum albumin, blood creatinine, and blood urea levels among the three groups of patients (P>0.05). Compared with control group A and control group B, the observation group had higher PLA2R measurement values and higher positive rates of IgG4 measurement in renal tissue. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in the measurement results of BPLA2R and IgG4 in renal tissue between control group A and control group. The PLA2R measurement value in the observation group was lower after treatment compared to before treatment, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions erum M-type phosphatase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and renal tissue IgG4 show abnormal expression levels in adult patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, which is significantly different from that in healthy people and membranous lupus nephritis, which can provide reference for the diagnosis of the disease.
