Glomerular disease with membranous glomerulonephritis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/817733606

Glomerular disease in which light microscopy shows thickening of the filtration membrane which further studies show is contributed to by the deposition of immunoglobulin in a granular fashion outside the glomerular basement membrane (sub-epithelial deposits) which basement membrane material may surround. Has many causes often associated with chronic antigen or antibody exposure, and in the idiopathic form is often associated with circulating antibodies to Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R).
