ANCA-Negative Pauci-Immune Crescentic Glomerulonephritis Linked with Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

چکیده
The association between malignancy and glomerular disease has been appreciated for decades [Baschinsky et al., Am J Kidney Dis 2000;36:E24]. Several types of glomerular injury in patients with cancer have been recognized [Morikawa et al., CEN Case Rep 2013;2:158-164; Baschinsky et al., Am J Kidney Dis 2000;36:E24]. The most common association is between nephrotic syndrome and carcinoma [Baschinsky et al., Am J Kidney Dis 2000;36:E24]. We report a case of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with lung cancer. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 other case of ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with lung cancer has been reported [Baschinsky et al., Am J Kidney Dis 2000;36:E24].

AP-VAS 2012 case report: a case of ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with IL-6-producing adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
A 76-year-old man with lung cancer and multiple metastases was admitted for purpura and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the lung had been diagnosed 6 months earlier. Two anti-cancer drug regimens had no effect. At admission, his survival with his malignancy was estimated to be several months. Renal biopsy revealed pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glome...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-negative Pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis.
Pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (CrGN) is one of the most common causes of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The majority of patients with pauci-immune CrGN had circulating antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA). However, patients with ANCA-negative pauci-immune CrGN were not investigated fully. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of this subgroup of patient...

Dear Editor, Pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (Pauciimmune CGN) is the most common cause of CGN. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) defi nes a clinicopathological syndrome consisting of intraluminal platelet thrombosis in the microvasculature and the presence of fragmented red blood cells and thrombocytopaenia in the peripheral blood, and may be seen in haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS)...

Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (PICGN). A small subgroup of patients with PICGN are anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) negative. We report a case of a patient with ANCA-negative renal-limited form of PICGN who developed ESRD despite treatment. He underwent live-related renal allograft...
متن کاملDiffuse alveolar haemorrhage in ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis
Pulmonary renal syndrome (PRS) is a combination of diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage and glomerulonephritis (GN). Though an established form of presentation in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated GN and vasculitis, diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage is extremely unusual in those with ANCA-negative GN. We present here a case of a 76-year-old Hispanic female with stage IV chronic ki...
