Clinicopathological characteristics and predictors of poor outcome in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease - a fifteen year single center experience.

CONCLUSIONS: Anti-GBM is a rare disease with poor prognosis and varied presentations. Patients with pulmonary-renal syndrome showed severe disease whereas double positive had more of chronic changes. The predictors of poor prognosis include advanced age, oliguria, serum anti-GBM levels, serum creatinine levels, degree of glomerulosclerosis and IFTA. Atypical anti-GBM cases should be kept in mind while evaluating renal biopsies. PMID: 33334228 [PubMed - in process]
