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) anti-GBM antibody titer was elevated.
抗肾小球基底膜(anti-GBM)病通常被描述为一种小血管血管炎,表现为急性肾损伤、血尿和非肾病性蛋白尿。我们报告一例由严重肾病综合征表现的抗肾小球基底膜病。尿蛋白水平为 12g/天。肾活检仅显示新月体性肾小球肾炎,直接免疫荧光法显示 IgG 线状染色,无其他肾小球肾炎。免疫球蛋白 G(IgG)抗肾小球基底膜抗体滴度升高。
