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]
Goodpasture syndrome: Kidneys, lungs: Anti-GBM antibodies Confirmed 1 per million people [46] IgA nephropathy: Kidneys: IgA autoantibodies Confirmed 3.5 per 100,000 [47] Membranous nephropathy: Kidneys: Anti-PLA2R antibodies Confirmed 10 per 100,000 [48] Lupus nephritis: Kidneys: Anti-dsDNA, Anti-Sm, Anti-nuclear antibodies Confirmed Up to 60% ...
Pulmonary-renal syndrome (PRS) is a rare medical syndrome in which respiratory failure involving bleeding in the lungs and kidney failure (glomerulonephritis) occur. [1] PRS is associated with a high rate of morbidity and death. [1] The term was first used by Goodpasture in 1919 to describe the association of respiratory and kidney failure. [1]
Goodpasture syndrome - This is a rare autoimmune disease where autoantibodies are produced that target the glomerular basement membrane in both the lungs and the kidneys. The damage to the basement membrane causes bleeding, and the disease often presents in patients as hematuria and haemoptysis (coughing up blood).

Rarer causes include hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome), Goodpasture's syndrome, and granulomatosis with polyangiitis. A rare cause of hemoptysis in women is endometriosis, which leads to intermittent hemoptysis coinciding with menstrual periods in 7% of women with thoracic endometriosis syndrome. [4]
Ernest William Goodpasture (October 17, 1886 – September 20, 1960) was an American pathologist and physician. Goodpasture advanced the scientific understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, parasitism, and a variety of rickettsial and viral infections.
