Abstract

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is characterized by circulating anti-GBM antibodies and deposition of these antibodies in the renal GBM. Renal involvement in anti‑GBM is more severe when compared with other types of immune-mediated glomerulonephritis, and the majority of patients manifest progressive renal failure, leading to end‑stage renal disease. In a limited number of cases, anti‑GBM disease has been shown to be accompanied with other immune‑mediated glomerulonephritis. The present study reported the case of a 50‑year‑old female patient presenting with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, who was diagnosed with anti‑GBM disease with IgA nephropathy. The patient achieved a relatively good therapeutic outcome with administration of corticosteroids plus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), which may prove to be a novel treatment option for this rare disease; however, the exact underlying mechanism requires further in‑depth investigation.
