What are the causes of membranous nephropathy

The first causes are: immune diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, mixed connective tissue disease, Sjogren's syndrome, primary biliary cirrhosis, ankylosing spondylitis and acute infectious polyneuritis.

The second reason is that tumor is also the main cause of membranous nephropathy. Lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer and lymphatic cancer. Of course, it does not rule out some other phenomena that bring about this disease. Sarcoidosis, graft regeneration, sickle cell disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia. These are the causes of primary membranous nephropathy.

The third reason is: drugs can also cause our stage 1 membranous nephropathy. Some of them include our nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs have also been reported to cause membranous nephropathy. We should pay attention to the history of drug use. If the drug is stopped in time, the disease may be relieved.

The drugs are mainly the use of hormones and other immunosuppressants. We should pay attention to the regular review of renal function. There is no special treatment for such diseases.
