چکیده
We herein report a case of spontaneous pregnancy and preterm delivery in a 29-year-old patient with myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis. Her basal serum creatinine level before pregnancy was 1.4 mg/dL and her urinary protein level was approximately 2 g/day. The proteinuria and hematuria increased during pregnancy, and the patient was admitted to our hospital and treated with prednisolone (PSL). At 27 weeks of gestation, she delivered a live infant weighing 848 g via cesarean section. No relapse of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis occurred.

Necrotizing and crescentic lupus nephritis with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody seropositivity.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lupus nephritis is a classic immune complex glomerulonephritis. In contrast, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are associated with necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis, in the absence of significant immune deposits. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are detected by indirect immunofluorescence in 20% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. We rep...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis with membranous nephropathy in remission.
A 47-year-old woman developed pulmonary hemorrhage and an increase in proteinuria during remission of membranous nephropathy. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis. She also had a high perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody level, so a diagnosis of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis was made. After immunosuppressive therapy w...

Pneumatosis intestinalis is a characteristic imaging phenomenon indicating the presence of gas in the bowel wall. The link between pneumatosis intestinalis and various kinds of autoimmune diseases has been reported anecdotally, while information regarding the cases with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis complicated by concurrent pneumatosis intestinalis is lacki...
متن کاملNecrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis with membranous nephropathy in a patient exposed to levamisole-adulterated cocaine
Levamisole is an antihelminthic agent widely used as an adulterant of illicit cocaine recently implicated as a cause of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated microscopic polyangiitis in cocaine abusers. An isolated case of membranous nephropathy (MN) associated with levamisole exposure has also been reported. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a patient with both mic...
