Overview
- The major laboratory workup includes blood workup, auto-immune workup and urine workup
Laboratory Findings
- The laboratory workup of membranous glomerulonephritis includes blood, urine and anti-bodies workup[1][2]
- Comprehensive chemistry panel including serum albumin
- Complete blood count
- Urinalysis with examination of the sediment
- 24-hour urine collection for protein quantification and creatinine clearance
- ANA and, if positive, anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), anti-Sm, anti-Ro/SSA, and anti-La/SSB antibodies to rule out autoimmune disease (SLE)
- Tests for hepatitis B and C viruses and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Serum C3 and C4 complement levels
- Serum free light chains (SFLCs) and serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) with immunofixation
- Anti-PLA2R antibody (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA
