Overview
The other diagnostic study is the confirmatory test, that is renal biopsy and its microscopic findings are the thickness of glomerular basement membrane.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Kidney biopsy
- The patients with compromised renal functions are indicated for biopsy [1][2][3]
- The biopsy is indicated, untill contraindicated if the PLA2R is negative.
