Pulmonary Renal Syndrome: Experience from Tertiary Centre in Mumbai.
Conclusion: Most common etiology of PRS is ANCA positive vasculitis in India. With high degree of suspicion for DAH in patients presenting with haemoptysis, breathlessness and alveolar opacities in chest x-ray and carefully investigating by simple urine examination for evidence of GN, timely diagnosis of PRS can be made. With timely appropriate treatment survival is 68%. Patients with PRS due to leptospirosis or dengue have features suggestive of underlying disease (like icterus with raised bilirubin but < 200U SGOT/SGPT, subconjunctival haemorrhage, typical rash of dengue with thrombocytopenia).
