While the exact pathogenesis of IMNM remains unknown, anti-HMGCR and anti-SRP autoantibodies are associated with different predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, and severity of the disease and are believed to correspond to two pathogenically distinct entities. The cornerstone treatment for IMNM is a combination of glucocorticoids and steroid-sparing agents. Therapeutic strategies aimed at decreasing the half-life of endogenous autoantibodies, such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), or reducing their production, such as rituximab, have shown promise as powerful treatments. In severe cases, combining IVIG and rituximab can have synergistic effects.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Previous studies suggested that complement dysregulation may be involved in the pathogenesis of IMNM.
