Superimposed Polymyositis in a Patient with Myeloperoxidase-Related Crescentic Glomerulonephritis

Herein, we report a patient who was diagnosed with concurrent polymyositis and myeloperoxidase-related crescentic glomerulonephritis.

متن کاملAnti-GBM-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis with discrete IgG deposition, but with no electron-dense material in glomeruli.
Crescentic glomerulonephritis is characterized by extracapillary proliferation resulting from severe inflammatory injury of various aetiologies. It is usually rapidly progressive. Meanwhile, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody-mediated glomerular lesions induce crescentic glomerulonephritis. When associated with pulmonary haemorrhage, it is given the eponym 'Goodpasture's syndrome'...
