Microscopic polyarteritis: a forgotten aetiology of haemoptysis and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 76 year old white woman died from massive pulmonary haemorrhage nine days after she was admitted to Parkland Memorial Hospital for evaluation of haemoptysis and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The differential diagnosis of haemoptysis with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is presented with particular emphasis on Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyarteritis. Necropsy showed a small vessel necrotising vasculitis associated with a focal segmental necrotising glomerulonephritis consistent with microscopic polyarteritis.

متن کاملTowards a more rapid diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
An attempt was made to provide simple practical guidelines to alert general practitioners to the diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and lead to early referral to hospital. The duration of illness before referral to this hospital and its effect on outcome in patients with crescentic nephritis were assessed retrospectively from the case notes of 24 patients referred over two year...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasm-associated glomerulonephritis.
Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, and renal limited vasculitis are associated with circulating anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies and are an important cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. This review gives an account of recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis underlying these conditions and how these may lead to future treatments. Consideration i...

متن کامل[A case of microscopic polyangiitis relapsed with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis].
The patient was a 63-year-old woman. She was admitted to our hospital with acute renal failure and multiple mononeuritis in 2002. She was diagnosed as microscopic polyangiitis based on positive for MPO-ANCA. Remission was induced by combination therapy with methylprednisolone pulse therapy and plasma exchange. Because condition of the disease was stable, prednisolone was discontinued from Augus...
