Relationship Between Serum Complement C3 Levels and Outcomes Among Patients With Anti-GBM Disease. [PDF]
BackgroundIgG and complement 3 (C3) are generally found to be deposited along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in human anti-GBM disease. The pathogenic role of complement activation in kidney damage of anti-GBM disease has been explored in recent ...

Anti-GBM disease with positive serum anti-GBM antibodies but negative IgG deposition: A case report. [PDF]
Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies are significantly specific for detecting anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. These antibodies are typically targeted against the non-collagenous (NC1) domain of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen and,

Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for life-threatening isolated pulmonary anti-GBM disease. [PDF]
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (anti-GBM disease) associated with renal and lung lesions has a poor prognosis. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a complication that worsens anti-GBM disease prognosis.
