Overview

Membranous glomerulonephritis was first discovered by David Jones, renal pathologist from Syracuse University in New York, in 1957.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

Following are the course of events that lead to important discoveries in spectrum of membranous glomerulonephritis.

• Membranous glomerulonephritis was first discovered by David Jones, renal pathologist from Syracuse University in New York, in 1957.
• Bell, E.T was first to name glomerulopathy as separate category of disease in 1946.
• Arthur Ellis, was first to compose findings of nephropathy which also included membranous nephritis in 1942.
• Movat, H.Z. and McGregor, D.D further specified definition of MGN as electron-dense subepithelial location of the deposits occupying the spaces between the altered glomerular basement membrane in 1959.
• Walter Heymann gave laboratory experimental model showing autoimmunity playing key role in glomerulopathy, also known as Heymann nephritis model in 1959.
