  • Title: MPO-ANCA-associated pulmonary-renal vasculitis in a patient with diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract:
    Diabetes mellitus is one of the major causes of chronic renal failure. Typical findings of diabetic nephropathy are early hyperfiltration followed by microalbuminuria and overt proteinuria, resulting in a progressive decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis has rarely been reported in patients with diabetes mellitus. Here, we describe a patient with MPO-ANCA-associated vasculitis, presenting with pulmonary-renal syndrome. Immunosuppressive treatment, including pulse methyl-prednisolone and cyclophosphamide, was administered and the disease was resolved.
