Evaluation of cases of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis according to newer classification: A retrospective record-based study.

The classification described by Sethi et al. is easy to use since it relies on DIF instead of EM which is not readily available. Most of the cases were immune complex mediated whereas incidence of complement mediated MPGN, that is, C3 glomerulopathy was low (11.11%). Application of the new classification allows more relevant categorization of cases based on etiology and without the requirement of EM.
