We report a case in which antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated glomerulonephritis and membranous glomerulopathy (MGN) were detected concurrently. The patient showed rapidly progressive renal deterioration. A renal biopsy showed crescentic glomerulonephritis, together with marked thickening and spike and bubbling formations in the glomerular basement membranes. Indirect immunofluorescence examination of the patient's neutrophils showed a perinuclear pattern. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays revealed that the ANCA in this case did not target myeloperoxidase (MPO) or proteinase 3 (PR3) but bactericidal-/permeability-increasing protein, elastase, and lysosome. The relationship between these two etiologically distinct entities, MPO-/PR3-negative ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and MGN, remains unclear.
我们报告了一例同时检测出抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)相关性肾小球肾炎和膜性肾小球病(MGN)的病例。该患者出现快速进展性肾功能恶化。肾活检显示新月体性肾小球肾炎,同时肾小球基底膜有明显增厚及钉突和小泡形成。对患者中性粒细胞进行间接免疫荧光检查显示核周型。酶联免疫吸附试验表明,该病例中的ANCA不靶向髓过氧化物酶(MPO)或蛋白酶3(PR3),而是靶向杀菌/通透性增加蛋白、弹性蛋白酶和溶酶体。这两种病因不同的疾病实体,即MPO/PR3阴性ANCA相关性肾小球肾炎和MGN之间的关系仍不清楚。
