Abstract

This is the time of paradigm shift in the treatment armamentarium of primary membranous nephropathy which is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adult population and has been labelled as a cause of idiopathic primary glomerulopathy in about 90% of patients. It is responsible for about 0.7% cases of end stage kidney disease. However, unfortunately, the optimal treatment for idiopathic membranous nephropathy is still controversial. Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody has been found a potential treatment option for idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
