Concurrent IgA Nephropathy and Membranous Nephropathy, Is It an Overlap Syndrome?

ABSTRACT: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and membranous nephropathy (MN) are common glomerulonephritis, the presence of which in the same patient- concurrent of IgAN and MN (cIgAN/MN) has been described occasionally. This study aims to show clinical-pathological features of cIgAN/MN and attempts to suggest underlying pathogenesis using disease-specific biomarkers and a genomics approach. This retrospective cohort study described the clinical and pathological data from 137 patients with cIgAN/MN diagnosed in Peking University First Hospital from 2005 to 2019. One hundred primary IgAN and 100 MN cases were randomly selected as disease controls between the same time interval. Moreover, disease-specific biomarkers and polygenic risk score models were conducted to reveal the underlying pathogenesis. The median a
