Evidence from mendelian randomization identifies several causal relationships between primary membranous nephropathy and gut microbiota by Jianwei Wu, Jing Zhang, Gang Huang, Yinglian Zhong, Yi Yang, Peng Deng

“…Conversely, pMN was positively associated with Bacilli abundance at the class level, Lachnospiraceae abundance at the family level, and Dialister abundance at the genus level. Specifically, at the species level, pMN was positively correlated with the abundance of Ruminococcus lactaris, Dialister invisus, and Coprococcus_sp_ART55_1.Conclusion These findings lay the groundwork for future research exploring the interplay between pMN and the gut microbiota, with substantial implications for the prevention and treatment of pMN and its associated complications.…”
