A Rare Presentation of Anti Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease Case Insights
Introduction: Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare and aggressive autoimmune disorder that typically leads to crescentic glomerulonephritis, with or without pulmonary hemorrhage. However, recent reports suggest the presence of atypical cases that deviate from the classical presentation. This case study highlights a unique manifestation of anti-GBM disease in a young female patient. For…
