Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease with intense nephrotic syndrome: a new case report
Abstract
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM)
disease was usually described as a small vessel
vasculitis presenting with acute kidney injury,
haematuria and non-nephrotic proteinuria. We
report a case of anti-GBM disease revealed by an
intense nephrotic syndrome. The urinary protein
level was 12g/day. Renal biopsy only showed
crescent glomerulonephritis with linear staining of
IgG in direct immunofluorescence without other
glomerulonephritis. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antiGBM antibody titer was elevated.
