The Characteristics of Concurrent Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Nephritis and Membranous Nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concurrent anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis and membranous nephropathy (MN) is rare previously addressed only in case reports or small series (≤12 patients)1-3. The target antigen(s) MN associated with anti-GBM are unknown. We report the clinicopathologic characteristics outcome of 28 patients this dual glomerulopathy, which were among 449 (6.2%) 5183 (0.5%) non-lupus cases diagnosed at a large nephropathology laboratory over 23-year period (Supplementary methods).

Rituximab for the treatment of refractory simultaneous anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) and membranous nephropathy
Antibody-mediated anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease occurs rarely in the presence of another B-cell disorder, membranous nephropathy. The coexistence of these two autoimmune disorders would be anticipated to require differing, specific therapies targeted to each disease process. We describe a case of concomitant membranous nephropathy and anti-GBM disease in which conventiona...

We report a case of a 71-year-old man with rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome and dual positivity for anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody and myeloperoxidase-specific anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic, mainly cellular, glomerulonephritis with granulomatous lesions, and advanced membranous changes. Membranous nephropathy had apparently existed for ...

INTRODUCTION Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by pulmonary hemorrhage, crescentic glomerulonephritis and the presence of circulating anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. The simultaneous occurrence of both anti-glomerular basement membrane disease and membranous nephropathy is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old Hispanic man pres...
متن کاملAnti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies.
Basement membranes form an anatomic barrier that contains connective tissue. They are composed of type IV collagen, laminin and proteoglycans. Anti-basement membrane antibodies bind to the non-collagen site of the α3 chain of type IV collagen. A group of renal diseases, pulmonary diseases and perhaps others affecting different organs have long been associated with the presence of antibodies dir...
متن کاملAnti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs. It is an archetypic autoimmune disease, caused by the development of directly pathogenic autoantibodies targeting a well characterized autoantigen expressed in the basement membranes of these organs, although the inciting events that induce the autoimm...
