  • Title: Antiglomerular basement membrane antibody-crescentic glomerulonephritis complicating chronic bronchiectasis.
    Author: Enríquez R, Cabezuelo JB, Sirvent AE, Andrada E, Amorós F, Orti C.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 2001 Apr; 35(2):156-7. PubMed ID: 11411662.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old woman with chronic bronchiectasis presented with haematuria and severe oligoanuric renal failure with no other serious systemic manifestation. Antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies and anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies were positive. Renal biopsy revealed anti-GBM crescentic glomerulonephritis. A conservative approach was followed and the patient is stable on chronic haemodialysis 6 months later. To the authors' knowledge, there has only been one previous report of anti-GBM disease complicating bronchiectasis.
