GBM 555 Abstract A Case of Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritic Syndrome Carried by Anti-glomerular Basement Membrane Glomerulonephritis Sayuri Shirai, Hiroyo Sasaki, Nagayuki Kanesiro, Hirosi Miura, Singo Kuboshima, Hiroki Tsuchida, Hiro Yamakawa, Yusuke Konno, Yosinori Shima, Jynki Koike 2, Yuiti Satou, Takasi Yasuda and Kenjiro Kimura We experienced a case with anti-gbm antibody-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis. She was maintained on hemodialysis after steroid pulse therapy and plasma exchange. This 54-year old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital from a general physician because of refractory high fever and general fatigue. In the outpatient clinic, abnormal urinary findings bacteria, protein, occult blood 3 a moderate degree of azotemia s-cr.6 mg dl, and high C-reactive protein CRP 8.7 mg dl were found, and thus ciprofloxacin hydrochloride CPFX were administered under the diagnosis of urinary tract infection. Seven days later high fever persisted, s-cr increased to 4.8 mg dl, CRP was still high, and finally urinary volume decreased. She was then admitted to our hospital and steroid pulse therapy was immediately performed assuming the systemic vasculitis as a cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritic syndrome. The biopsy specimen revealed severe circumferential cellular crescents. No abnormal finding was observed in the lung by CT. For the treatment of crescentic glomerulonephritis, steroid, cyclophosphamide, and azathioprine were administered while hemodialysis was simultaneously carried out. Although MPO-ANCA and PR3-ANCA were negative, anti-gbm antibody was positive 300 EU ml. Three sessions of plasma exchanges were additionally performed to remove the antibody. Three months later anti-gbm antibody was decreased to less than 0 EU ml, and she was discharged from the hospital. In conclusion, we succeeded in curing a patient with anti-gbm antibody-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis. She fell into end stage renal failure without alveolar hemorrhage and avoided opportunistic infection in spite of steroid pulse therapy and immunosuppressive therapy.
