Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease: A Case Report of an Uncommon Entity with Atypical Histological Findings
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Nephrology and Renal Care - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is one of the infrequently encountered nephritic disorders, but one which can lead to poor renal and patient survival. Recent reports have noted the occurrence of anti-GBM disease with atypical histological features on kidney biopsy. The presentation of these patients also follows a differing clinical course as compared to classic cases. We present a case of anti-GBM disease with atypical histological features with an entirely unique presentation among atypical cases and suggest a new paradigm for management of these patients.
