The past decade has seen continual progress in the diagnosis and treatment of primary glomerular diseases. The discovery of disease-causing autoantibodies in membranous nephropathy (MN) and mutations in podocyte genes in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), together with the availability of modern immunosuppressive drugs, has provided new avenues for individualized therapy, and several important studies have been published in the past several years.
Whereas antibodies to the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) were discovered over 10 years ago and have entered mainstream practice, several novel antigens surfaced in the nephrology literature in 2020 (
Detective Nephron, world-renowned for his expert analytic skills, trains budding physician-detectives, most recently L.O. Henle, in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Mackenzie Ula Densa, a budding nephrologist, plans to present a new case to the master consultant.

Drug discovery and development is a lengthy and expensive process. Testing new agents in humans at an early stage can reduce the time and costs involved in identifying drugs that are likely to succeed in clinical studies. Implementation of a new drug in practice also requires the development of useful biomarkers of disease and of the drug’s efficacy, as well as sensitive molecular imaging techniques.
Nephrology relied on only a handful of therapeutics during the 1970s to 2000s for managing anemia, bone-mineral disease, glomerular diseases, and transplantation-related events. In the past 2 decades, there has been a steady rise in
Detective Nephron, world renowned for expert analytic skills, trains budding physician-detectives on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Wildly waving a stack of paper records, budding nephrologist L.O. Henle and medical student Ms. Curious Tubule run down the hall toward Detective Nephron’s office.

Lupus nephritis is a serious end organ manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Regardless of the remarkable advances in the knowledge and understanding of lupus nephritis pathophysiology, it remains a weighty source of morbidity and mortality, and 10% to 30% of affected patients progress to end-stage kidney disease within 10 years of being diagnosed with SLE (
Therapy for lupus nephritis has continued to evolve, from the use of cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and steroids developed in the 1970s–1980s to the use of mycophenolate, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and rituximab in the 2000s (
In 1914, Volhard and Fahr (
