Abstract

ZOPPI, María Eugenia et al. CASE REPORT OF RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS DUE TO ANTI-GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE ANTIBODIES. Rev. nefrol. dial. traspl. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.4, pp.325-329. ISSN 2346-8548.

Once again in internal medicine we cannot do a diagnosis without invasive methods. Daily advances in the finding of new paraclinical tools do not allow the replacement of certain methods such as pathological anatomy. The case presented is a sample of this. This is a 27-year-old woman with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis who consults for presenting severe impairment of kidney function associated with oligoanuria.

We performed a review of the treatment of the rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis for serologically negative anti-GBM antibodies.
