Question

Difference between membranous and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Answer 1

Membranoproliferativeglomerulonephritis involves the basement membrane and mesangium, while membranous glomerulonephritis involves the basement membrane but not the mesangium. (Membranoproliferativeglomerulonephritis has the alternate name "mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis", to emphasize its mesangial character.)
