    Abstract The discovery of phospholipase A2 receptor 1 as the major target antigen in membranous nephropathy (MN) has initiated a decade of major advances in the understanding of MN pathophysiology and improvement of patient care. In this Issue, Zhang et al. identified potential T-cell epitopes of phospholipase A2 receptor 1 in patients with MN. The characterization of the pathogenic T- and B-cell epitopes on phospholipase A2 receptor 1 is an important step moving from the current unspecific immunosuppressive therapies toward antigen-specific MN treatments.

    Abstract The identification of autoantibodies responsible for the development of membranous nephropathy (MN) in most patients, has led to the development of antigen-specific diagnosis and treatment options for this disease. Pathomechanisms leading to the initiation of the immune response against PLA2R1 are not clear, yet. Environmental and genetic factors may play a role in these processes. In THSD7A-induced MN THSD7A-expressing tumors may play an important pathogenic role.An antigen-specific diagnosis of MN is important for the development of individualized disease management strategies in these patients. These strategies include for example tumor screening, the decision to perform a kidney biopsy, adjustment of treatment based on the immunologic disease activity, better estimation of the risk for disease progression as well as the prognosis of disease etc. The clinical role of domain-specific PLA2R1-antibodies needs to be better defined. In the last years, several novel target antigens have been described in patients with MN. The pathogenetic role of these antigens needs to be better defined.In MCD and FSGS a T-cell disruption is assumed to play a central role for disease pathogenesis, which, however, remains not well understood. In the last years, a potential role for B-cells and autoantibodies has been postulated in these patients. For both MCD and FSGS steroids remain the first line treatment strategy. When a steroid treatment needs to be avoided, calcineurin inhibitors are often used as a second line therapy. Other treatment options include cyclophosphamide, MMF and rituximab.

    Title translation Experiences from the German COVID-19 register.
    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections represent a particular risk for several groups of patients with nephrological diseases. Patients on dialysis represent a particularly vulnerable group during the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic. Initial data from international registries show a much higher mortality of dialysis patients with SARS-CoV‑2 infections. Because of the substantial differences between the healthcare systems, (state) preventive measures and treatment possibilities etc., in the different countries worldwide, local and national registry data cannot be easily transferred. In order to gain a reliable overview of the prevalence and mortality of dialysis patients with SARS-CoV‑2 infection in Germany, the German Society of Nephrology implemented a national registry for dialysis patients with a SARS-CoV‑2 infection. Within this framework a standardized collection of these data is carried out on a weekly basis, which should enable a real-time overview of the case numbers and perhaps the acquisition of new scientific knowledge. Particularly in the current phase of the pandemic (autumn 2020), which is accompanied by a multiplication of the numbers of daily new-onset cases within only a few weeks, such data are highly relevant for the estimation and adjustment of the personnel, structural and organizational needs as well as the capacities for the treatment of patients.

    Abstract Membranous nephropathy (MN) is characterized histomorphologically by the presence of immune deposits in the subepithelial space of the glomerular filtration barrier; its clinical hallmarks are nephrotic range proteinuria with oedema. In patients with primary MN, autoimmunity is driven by circulating autoantibodies that bind to one or more antigens on the surface of glomerular podocytes. Compared with other autoimmune kidney diseases, the understanding of the pathogenesis of MN has substantially improved in the past decade, thanks to the discovery of pathogenic circulating autoantibodies against phospholipase A
