Featured Abstract
Membranous nephropathy in syphilis is associated with neuron-derived neurotrophic factor
Syphilis is a common worldwide sexually transmitted infection. Proteinuria may occur in patients with syphilis. Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of proteinuria in syphilis. The target antigen of MN in syphilis is unknown. This study shows that MN in syphilis is associated with a novel target antigen called neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF). NDNF-associated MN has distinctive clinical and pathologic manifestations and NDNF appears to be the target antigen in syphilis-associated MN.
