Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Glomerulonephritis and Malignancy: A Case of a Patient Diagnosed with Renal Failure and Pulmonary Carcinoma Concurrently

چکیده
A 70-year-old man presented with proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and an increased level of serum creatinine. systemic workup revealed that the patient had bronchogenic carcinoma anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis concurrently. Despite increase in cumulative number publications on paraneoplastic glomerulopathies, awareness link between cancer ANCA-associated is lacking. We strongly recommend accumulation more cases similar to our own, thereby allowing us clarify management strategies as well nature this disease condition precisely.

A Case of Membranous Glomerulonephritis with Superimposed Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Rapidly Progressive Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (IMGN) is commonly diagnosed in adults with proteinuria. Rapid deterioration of renal function is a rare complication of IMGN, except when accompanied by renal vein thrombosis, malignant hypertension, or other underlying disease, including lupus nephritis. Here, we present a case of rapid deterioration of renal function in a patient with MGN superimposed...

A 71-year-old woman presented to us in August 2012 with a rash over both lower limbs. Blood tests revealed leukocytosis with white cell count of 22 x 109 /L (neutrophil 1.6 x 109 /L, lymphocytes 20 x 109 /L). Serum creatinine level was 53 μmol/L and serum albumin 42 g/L. Urinalysis showed no albuminuria or microscopic haematuria. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic...

BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) and concurrent membranous nephropathy (MN) are very rare combination. Their causal relationship has been suggested, but not determined. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-years-old male with 5-year history of proteinuria underwent an operation for his sigmoid colon cancer. Seven months later, he wa...
متن کاملA case of membranous nephropathy and myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis
Membranous nephropathy (MN) may be a primary disease or secondary to autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, infection (for example, with hepatitis B or C virus), cancer or drugs. In primary MN, crescents are rarely observed. Therefore, the presence of crescents suggests another underlying disease, for example lupus nephritis, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease or ant...

What drives human beings to classify? It seems as if it is within our nature to do so. Clinical classification systems for the systemic vasculitides were composed a long time ago, and they are constantly being revised and altered. The histopathological features of many diseases are so diverse that classification is called for. The histopathological classification for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic...
