Abstract:
Except for IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis in China. Neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 protein (NELL-1) has been currently considered as one of the target antigens for diagnosis of primary MN. Moyamoya syndrome is a syndrome with clinical and imaging manifestations of moyamoya disease and possible vascular stenosis. By far, primary MN complicated with moyamoya syndrome has not been reported internationally. The paper reports a case of NELL-1-related MN complicated with moyamoya syndrome and reviews relevant literature to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
