  2. Goodpasture syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodpasture_syndrome

    Goodpasture syndrome (GPS), also known as anti–glomerular basement membrane disease, is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the basement membrane in lungs and kidneys, leading to bleeding from the lungs, glomerulonephritis, [1] and kidney failure. [2]

  3. Nephritic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephritic_syndrome

    Nephritic syndrome, like nephrotic syndrome, ... Goodpasture syndrome - This is a rare autoimmune disease where autoantibodies are produced that target the glomerular ...

  4. Glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerulonephritis

    In Goodpasture syndrome, IgG antibodies directed against the glomerular basement membrane trigger an inflammatory reaction, causing a nephritic syndrome and the coughing up of blood. [ 4 ] : 557 High dose immunosuppression is required (intravenous methylprednisolone ) and cyclophosphamide, plus plasmapheresis.

  5. Pulmonary-renal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary-renal_syndrome

    Pulmonary-renal syndromes are most commonly caused by an underlying autoimmune disease. PRS is most commonly due to ANCA-associated vasculitides (e.g., granulomatosis with polyangiitis) or due to anti-basement membrane diseases (e.g., Goodpasture's syndrome).

  6. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membranoproliferative_gl...

    MPGN accounts for approximately 4% of primary renal causes of nephrotic syndrome in children and 7% in adults. [ 3 ] It should not be confused with membranous glomerulonephritis , a condition in which the basement membrane is thickened, but the mesangium is not.

  7. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidly_progressive_glomer...

    Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [4] [5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [5] or 75% [4] of glomeruli seen on kidney biopsies.

  8. Membranous glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membranous_glomerulonephritis

    Similar to other causes of nephrotic syndrome (e.g., focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or minimal change disease), membranous nephropathy is known to predispose affected individuals to develop blood clots such as pulmonary emboli. Membranous nephropathy in particular is known to increase this risk more than other causes of nephrotic syndrome ...

  9. Glomerular basement membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_basement_membrane

    The glomerular basement membrane of the kidney is the basal lamina layer of the glomerulus.The glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerular basement membrane, and the filtration slits between the podocytes perform the filtration function of the glomerulus, separating the blood in the capillaries from the filtrate that forms in Bowman's capsule.
