Thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) is the most recently recognized target antigen in patients with membranous nephropathy. We stained membranous nephropathy biopsies processed in our laboratory for phospholipase A2 receptor and THSD7A over an 18-month period and selected all THSD7A-positive cases for study. Serum samples from most patients were tested by an indirect immunofluorescence assay for the presence of THSD7A antibodies (Euroimmun). A total of 31 patients were diagnosed with THSD7A-associated membranous nephropathy for a prevalence of 2.4% among patients with membranous nephropathy. The patients were most often male (male-to-female ratio of 1.6) with a mean age of 62 years and a mean proteinuria of 9.6 g per day (range 1.1-15.9). Two of the 31 patients had a history of cancer and none were diagnosed with malignancy on follow-up. Serum samples were available at the time of biopsy from 24 patients and all tested positive for antibodies against THSD7A. Conversely, all 20 serum samples from patients with membranous nephropathy who had negative staining for THSD7A were negative for serum reactivity to THSD7A. We conclude that THSD7A tissue staining of kidney biopsies with membranous nephropathy is a sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis of THSD7A-associated membranous nephropathy and it correlates strongly with the serum antibody testing. We also present the clinicopathologic details of the largest cohort to date of THSD7A-associated membranous nephropathy from a single institution.
