Abstract:Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is one of the leading causes of end‐stage renal disease, and the most frequent cause of massive proteinuria in nondiabetic adults, resulting in fatal complications. However, the underlying pathomechanisms of PMN remain largely unclear. Here, single‐cell RNA sequencing is employed to analyze kidney biopsies from eleven PMN patients and seven healthy subjects. Profiling 44 060 cells from patients allowed us to characterize the cellular composition and cell‐type‐specific gene … Show more
