Recurrencia de Síndrome de Goodpasture con negativización de anticuerpos anti-membrana basal glomerular: caso clínico / Recurrence of goodpasture syndrome with negative antiglomerular basement antibodies: report of one case

Goodpasture Syndrome is described as a single episode disease entity. It is diagnosed with the demonstration of antiglomerular basement (anti-GBM) antibodies in plasma or renal tissue. Although the recurrence of anti-GBM disease is rare, it has been reported in up to 3% of cases. Recurrence with negative anti-GBM antibodies in plasma is even less frequent We report a 63 years old male in whom anti-GBM disease recurred without detectable anti-GBM antibodies in plasma, despite having positive antibodies at the onset.
