Abstract:
:The originally dismal prognosis associated with anti-GBM Ab-mediated GN and Goodpasture's syndrome may be changing as we recognize a broader spectrum of disease, improve general supportive care, and improve specific treatment. Immunosuppressive therapy, if started early in the course of disease, may prevent or allow recovery from renal failure and may also result in cessation of recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage in most patients with this form of Goodpasture's syndrome. The administration of pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids intravenously can result in cessation of and dramatic recovery from severe pulmonary hemorrhage and obviate the need for emergency bilateral nephrectomy. Plasmaspheresis may represent a useful therapeutic procedure for the immediate and long term reduction in amounts of circulating anti-GBM Ab, but the definition of its true value and role awaits completion of controlled, prospective trials. Immunosuppressive therapy, with or without plasmapheresis, can reduce quantities of anti-GBM Ab in serum to undetectable levels without nephrectomy. Thus, it is likely, but not proven, that nephrectomy can be discontinued as a routine pretransplantation procedure in patients with anti-GBM Ab mediated GN. Finally, in patients who suffer irreversible renal failure, renal transplantation can be successfully undertaken with minimal risk of recurrent disease, when circulating anti-GBM Ab becomes undetectable.
