Phospholipase A2 receptor IgG Ab [Units/volume] in Serum by Immunoassay
Active
Term Description
Phospholipase A2 Receptor (PLA2R) antibodies in human serum can be quantitatively measured in relative units (rU) by immunoassays. Such antibodies are found in patients with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) but not in patients with secondary glomerulonephritis. The test is used to differentiate these two conditions.
Part Description
LP172674-6 Phospholipase A2 receptor Ab.IgG
The M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) stimulates the production of phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies. The PLA2R antibodies are a sensitive biomarker for idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN). Over 80% of patients with MN are positive for PLA2R antibodies. MN is a syndrome where immune complexes deposit on the basement membrane and along with complement fixation alter the filtration barrier leading to proteinuria. The target antigens reside on the podocytes and is where the disease process begins. PLA2R antibodies are useful to diagnose and monitor treatment of MN. PMCID: PMC3103733

- Change Reason
- The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
