Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Anti-GBM antibody disease is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by circulating autoantibodies directed against specific antigenic targets within the glomerular and alveolar basement membranes. It is extremely uncommon in children, and typically presents with acute renal failure caused by a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis that is commonly associated with crescentic changes.
