Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with benzylthiouracil therapy: report of the first case.
Grave’s disease is a common form of autoimmune thyroiditis which has been successfully treated with anti-thyroid drugs for more than half a century. However, these drugs may cause major complications including agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity and immunological disturbances such as lupus erythematosus syndrome. Anti myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) mediated crescenti...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder that is characterized by the development of cysts in the kidneys and other organs. Urinary protein excretion is usually less than 1 g/day, and ADPKD is rarely associated with nephrotic syndrome or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). To date, myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibo...
متن کاملClinical features and outcomes in children with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-positive glomerulonephritis associated with propylthiouracil treatment.
A retrospective investigation was conducted by members of the Japanese Society for Pediatric Nephrology from 1990 to 1997 to define the clinical features and outcomes in children with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-positive glomerulonephritis associated with propylthiouracil treatment. Seven Japanese pediatric patients who had myeloperoxidase-specific ANCA-positive biopsy-proven...
متن کاملPropylthiouracil-induced alveolar haemorrhage associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to cause vasculitis as a rare complication. We report the case of a patient who developed alveolar haemorrhage and haematuria whilst treated with PTU. The serum was positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase (MPO) specificity (MPO-ANCA). All symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of PTU. Alveolar haemorrhage or pulmon...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies crescentic allograft glomerulonephritis after sofosbuvir therapy
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are well known to be associated with several types of vasculitis, including pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, a form of rapid progressive glomerular nephritis (RPGN). ANCA vasculitis has also been reported after administration of propylthiouracil, hydralazine, cocaine (adulterated with levimasole), allopurinol, penicillamine and few other d...
