		Membranous glomerulonephritis is the commonest primary cause of the nephrotic syndrome in adults, responsible for ~ 40% of cases, while lipoid nephrosis (minimal change disease) is the commonest etiology of primary nephrotic syndrome in children (causing ~65% of cases).
		Membranous glomerulonephritis is an antibody mediated disease in which immune complexes localize to the subepithelial aspect of the capillary loop - between the outer aspect of the basement membrane and the podocyte.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Membranous nephropathy
		Membranous nephropathy is a kidney disorder resulting in disruption of kidney function because of inflammation of the glomerulus and changes in the glomerular basement membrane.
		Membranous nephropathy is caused by thickening of the capillary wall of the glomerular basement membrane (the deepest membrane) by immune complexes.
		Membranous nephropathy may be a primary renal disease of uncertain origin, or it may be associated with other conditions.

	Membranous glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN), also known as membranous nephropathy is a slowly progressive disease affecting mostly patients between ages of 30 and 50 years.
		85% of MGN cases are classified as primary membranous glomerulonephritis -- that is to say, the cause of the disease is idiopathic (unknown).
		By light microscopy, the basement membrane is observed to be diffusively thickened.
