Summary

Type 2 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), a pathological subtype of MPGN (see this term) is an idiopathic chronic progressive kidney disorder distinguished by the presence of intra-membranous dense deposits in addition to immune complex subendothelial deposits in the glomerular capillary walls. This form often has a higher recurrence rate after a kidney transplant and is associated with extra-renal manifestations such as familial drusen (see this term).
