“…Previous reports have described the simultaneous presentation of anti-GBM disease with other diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome such as membranous nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy and IgA nephropathy [11][12][13][14][15]. Renal vein thrombosis has also been associated with Goodpasture's syndrome [16] but this possibility was ruled out in our patient using Doppler ultrasound of the renal vessels. Our patient had no history of diabetes mellitus, and renal biopsy findings were not consistent with diabetic nephrosclerosis.…”

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a vasculitic disease characterized by acute kidney injury, oliguria, hematuria and proteinuria. Proteinuria is rarely in the nephrotic range. A case of anti-GBM disease with proteinuria of 22.5 g/day is discussed. Immunofluorescence showed strong linear IgG deposits while electron microscopy showed widespread visceral epithelial cell foot cell process effacement. No electron dense immune complex-type deposits were identified. Pathology findings were not suggestive of simultaneous presentation of anti-GBM disease and other diseases associated with nephrotic range proteinuria. Anti-GBM disease should be considered in a comprehensive differential diagnosis of severe proteinuria.

A case of Goodpasture's syndrome with a negative immunofluorescence examination of the lung biopsy in a 32-year-old man is described. The patient was a 40 cigarettes per day smoker, who had been smoking cocaine (crack) up to 3 weeks before hospital admission. He developed a diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with extremely acute respiratory distress, followed by renal failure with anuria. Transjugular renal biopsy, immunofluorescence and serum antiglomerular basement membrane antibody titer studies confirmed the diagnosis of Goodpasture's syndrome without linear immunoglobulin G deposits as determined by immunofluorescence examination of the alveolar basement membranes. The case illustrates the potentially complex interrelations between an autoimmune disease and exposure to substances with possible antigenic properties, besides the imperative necessity for an early, accurate diagnosis and treatment for the potential for threatening life. Moreover, the association of Goodpasture's syndrome with crack has not been previously reported.
