Infective endocarditis mimics ANCA associated glomerulonephritis
Background: Sub-acute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) rarely presents with features of a small vessel vasculitis. Patients with SBE can also develop multiple serological abnormalities including ANCA. In this report, we present a case of infective endocarditis mimicked ANCA associated glomerulonephritis.Case presentation: A 57-year old male with a clinical picture of rapidly progressive renal failu...
متن کامل[Rapidly progressive ANCA-negative glomerulonephritis in the course of pauci immune microscopic vasculitis with hemolytic anemia probable in the course of Wilson's disease].
Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, i.e., with no evidence of immune deposits in the blood vessel, is the most prevalent form of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). In the pathogenesis of pauci-immune renal disease inflammation of blood vessels in the presence of circulating anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) takes place. However the lack of ANCA (about 5-30% of patients) does ...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis presenting with bilateral renal vein thrombosis
We report a case of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis presenting with bilateral renal vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in a patient who also had a lupus anticoagulant and anti-cardiolipin antibodies. Although the link between venous thrombosis and ANCA vasculitis is well established, the coexistence of renal vein thrombosis is u...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies crescentic allograft glomerulonephritis after sofosbuvir therapy
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are well known to be associated with several types of vasculitis, including pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, a form of rapid progressive glomerular nephritis (RPGN). ANCA vasculitis has also been reported after administration of propylthiouracil, hydralazine, cocaine (adulterated with levimasole), allopurinol, penicillamine and few other d...
متن کاملThe Prevalence and Management of Pauci-Immune Glomerulonephritis and Vasculitis in Western Countries
Background: Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis is the most common cause of aggressive glomerulonephritis and occurs as a renal-limited disease or as a component of systemic necrotizing small-vessel vasculitis. It is characterized by paucity of staining for immunoglobulins, by immunofluorescence along with fibrinoid necrosis and crescent formation by light microscopy, while the vast majority of pat...
