Can membranous nephropathy be cured?

Whether membranous nephropathy can be completely cured or not should be considered according to the patients’ pathological stage, age and other comprehensive considerations, and cannot be generalized. 1. Pathological stage: Generally speaking, patients with renal biopsy pathological stage Ⅰ can mostly be relieved or even recovered, Ⅱ recovery and prognosis are also better, but the prognosis of stage Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ is worse, because at this time, patients will have organic lesions such as renal tubular atrophy, renal mesangial fibrosis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and so on, and these are the indicators of poor prognosis. 2. Age: Membranous nephropathy progresses slowly, and the cure rate is higher in children, the natural remission rate of children is 30% to 50%, and the complete remission rate of untreated adult membranous nephropathy is about 10%, 16% and 22% in 1 year, 2 years and 3 years respectively. For the treatment of membranous nephropathy, different treatment plans should be adopted according to the different degrees of the disease, and the personalized treatment plan is conducive to the recovery of the patient’s condition. If diagnosed with membranous nephropathy, patients should actively follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying the disease.
