Ordering Guidance
This test will report as negative or positive for autoantibodies to phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R).
If additional interpretation/analysis is needed, request PATHC / Pathology Consultation along with this test and send the corresponding renal pathology light microscopy and immunofluorescence (IF) slides (or IF images on a CD), electron microscopy images (prints or CD), and the pathology report.
Shipping Instructions
1. Advise shipping specimens in Styrofoam transportation coolers to avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures to ensure specimens are received at required specimen stability temperature.
2. Attach the green pathology address label included in the kit to the outside of the transport container.
Necessary Information
A pathology/diagnostic report is required.
Specimen Required
Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Membranous nephropathy is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in white adults. Eighty-five percent of membranous nephropathy cases are primary or idiopathic and the other 15% are secondary. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is an antigen located on podocytes. The majority of cases of primary membranous nephropathy have circulating autoantibodies against PLA2R.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
