==Overview==
'''Membranous glomerulonephritis''' ('''MGN'''), also known as '''membranous nephropathy''', is a slowly progressive disease of the [[kidney]] affecting mostly patients between ages of 30 and 50 years. 85% of MGN cases are classified as ''primary membranous glomerulonephritis'' -- that is to say, the cause of the disease is idiopathic (unknown). This can also be referred to as ''idiopathic membranous nephropathy''.  The remainder is secondary due to :


* '''autoimmune conditions''' (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus)
==Historical Perspective==
* '''infections''' (e.g., syphilis, malaria, hepatitis B)
 
* '''drugs''' (e.g., captopril, NSAIDs)
==Classification==
* '''inorganic salts'''
 
* '''malignant tumors''' (in particular, carcinoma of the lung and colon, and melanoma)

The word ''membranous'' refers to the [[Glomerular_basement_membrane|glomerular basement membrane]] of the kidney; ''glomerulonephritis'' means "a kidney disease affecting the capillaries of the [[Glomerulus|glomeruli]]"; ''[[nephropathy]]'' is a generic term that just refers to any disease of the kidney.
