Pulmonary Renal Syndrome: Update Article
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The pulmonary–renal syndrome (PRS) refers to the combination of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). Pulmonary-renal syndrome can originate from various systemic autoimmune diseases. ANCA-associated vasculitides account for approximately 60%, Goodpasture's Syndrome for approximately 20% of the cases. It is almost always autoimmune in nature, therefore steroids and other immunosupressants have role in its treatment. The underlying renal pathology is a form of focal proliferative glomerulonephritis. The lung pathology is in form of diffuse alveolar hemorrhages.
