Abstract
The article presents as an introduction a short review on the problem of membranous nephropathy. A patient suffering from membranous nephropathy that is resistant to traditional therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphane, as well as cyclosporine, was selected as a clinical case. The use of rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m2 twice with a difference of one week led to the development of remission in the patient, normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters. No side effects of rituximab were detected.
