Abstract

Introduction. Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a chronic renal pathology that affects the glomeruli, which are the structures responsible for filtering the blood in the kidneys. Timely treatment and proper management of membranous nephropathy in adult patients are essential to improve the quality of life of patients. Objective. To describe the most effective therapeutic approaches and the factors that can influence the response to treatment for early diagnosis and management of membranous glomerulonephritis. Methodology. A descriptive narrative study was conducted through systematic data collection, in which a representative sample of scientific research relevant to the treatment and management of the disease was selected during the period 2019-2023. Results.  Treatment of membranous glomerulonephritis in low-risk patients is based on the use of ARA II or IECA to control blood pressure and reduce proteinuria, with the aim of reducing by 20% the rate of recurrence of the disease. If there is not a response to therapy, more aggressive options are available, such as the immunosuppressive treatment itself, which increases total remission by 73% and reduces the risk of developing terminal kidney disease by 22%. Conclusion.  The effectiveness of therapy for membranous glomerulonephritis is based on the combination of steroid-based immunosuppressive therapy with chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide to prevent poor treatment tolerance by the nephrotic patient and decrease the relapses of membrane nephropathy.
