Antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease presenting during pregnancy is uncommon. We present a case of a pregnant female who presented with acute renal failure requiring dialysis due to anti-GBM disease. She responded well to plasma exchange, high-dose steroids, and hemodialysis. Cyclophosphamide was discussed but not given at the patient's request due to concerns for the well-being of the fetus. Unfortunately, she suffered a spontaneous abortion in her eighth week of pregnancy. Subsequently, she had progressive improvement in her renal function and became hemodialysis independent at 2 weeks after diagnosis. Her renal function returned to baseline 3 months after diagnosis. We present this case in detail and review the literature regarding anti-GBM disease in pregnancy.
妊娠期间出现的抗肾小球基底膜(GBM)病并不常见。我们报告一例妊娠女性,因抗GBM病出现急性肾衰竭,需要进行透析治疗。她对血浆置换、大剂量类固醇和血液透析反应良好。曾讨论使用环磷酰胺,但由于担心胎儿健康,根据患者要求未予使用。不幸的是,她在妊娠第8周时发生自然流产。随后,她的肾功能逐渐改善,诊断后2周不再依赖血液透析。诊断后3个月,她的肾功能恢复至基线水平。我们详细介绍该病例,并复习妊娠期间抗GBM病的相关文献。
