Abstract Background: To investigate correlations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels and selected clinical indicators and renal pathology at initial onset of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and to analyse changes in the main quantifiable indicators in IMN patients with different 25(OH)D3 levels.Methods: A total of 109 patients admitted to the Department of Nephrology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between August 2015 and April 2019 and diagnosed with IMN were reviewed. Comparative analysis of the effects of different 25(OH)D3 levels on clinical and pathological indicators of IMN was performed, and changes in serum albumin, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine and other clinical indicators in these patients during the follow-up were analysed.Results: The 109 patients with IMN had 25(OH)D3 deficiency [25(OH)D3<70 nmol/L]. The incidence of nephrotic syndrome, serum phosphorus levels, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESRs) were higher in the 25(OH)D3<25 nmol/L group than in the 25(OH)D3≥25 nmol/L group. In contrast, total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), serum calcium, and IgG levels were lower in the 25(OH)D3<25 nmol/L group (P<0.05). No pathological parameters differed significantly between the two groups (P>0.05). Bivariate correlation analysis showed that 25(OH)D3 was positively correlated with nephrotic syndrome, TP levels, ALB levels, the eGFR, serum calcium levels and IgG levels (P<0.05) and negatively correlated with age, blood pressure, Scr levels, 24-hour urinary protein (UP) quantitation, serum phosphorus levels, hs-CRP levels and the ESR (P<0.05). In single-factor repeated measures analysis of variance, the ALB levels in the 25(OH)D3<25 nmol/L and 25(OH)D3≥25 nmol/L groups showed an increasing trend but were lower in the 25(OH)D3<25 nmol/L group than in the 25(OH)D3≥25 nmol/L group at each follow-up time point (P<0.001).Conclusion: Reduced 25(OH)D3 levels are prevalent among IMN patients. During the follow-up, serum albumin increased significantly in patients receiving vitamin D supplementation. 25(OH)D3 may play an important role in IMN development.

Idiopathic Membranous Glomerulonephritis

We describe a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with pulmonary embolism and who was found to have nephrotic syndrome due to idiopathic membranous nephropathy. There are no other signs of nephrotic syndrome such as edema.
