Membranoproliferative glomerolonephritis (MPGN) is used to be classified as MPGN type I, II and III. The older classification only gave a diagnosis but did not include the aetiology and pathophysiology of the disease. The new classification gives the clinician more detail and leads to proper treatment. The old and new classification of MPGN include aetiology, a little bit of reporting system of renal pathology and how to report MPGN. In conclusion, MPGN is a pattern of disease which may be caused by primary or secondary glomerolar disease. Pathologists shoold be aware and given the clinician the information as much as the tissue coold tell us.
