It describes class 1 as an early PVN stage with favorable outcome, and classes 2 and 3 as having more pronounced impact on function with graft failure rates reaching 50% in class 3. The proposed PVN classification aims at improving clinico-pathologic correlation and the comparability of studies: a simple biopsy diagnosis of "PVN" no longer...

ANSWER: B Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is the most commonly described glomerular disease in IgG4-related disease. MGN was present in about 7% of cases of IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis from two biopsy series studies.   Other specific glomerular diseases have been reported in patients with IgG4-related disease, including IgA nephropathy/Henoch Schönlein purpura nephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and mesangioproliferative immune complex glomerulonephritis.   References: Alexander MP, et al.
