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 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...
متن کاملCrescentic glomerulonephritis with dual positive anti-GBM and C-ANCA/PR3 antibodies
Antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies are more often accompanied by myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) than by proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA). Both disease processes can affect the kidneys and/or the lungs. Patients with dual positive disease may have an atypical presentation which may delay diagnosis and treatment. Here ...
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...
متن کاملFamilial clusters of ANCA small-vessel vasculitis
Small-vessel vasculitides associated with the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in the serum are characterized by inflammation and necrosis of small vessels. A pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis typically occurs when there is renal damage. Pathogenesis of these diseases remains unclear although infectious, genetic and environmental factors have been involved....
