ABSTRACT
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis is a rare autoimmune condition involving the glomerular basement membrane of the kidneys. This case report describes an 11-year-old female who presented with edema, decreased urine output, and altered sensorium, progressing to hypertension and requiring emergent hemodialysis. A renal biopsy showing Immunoglobulin G (IgG) linear deposits confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone and antihypertensives and then scheduled for regular dialysis. This case underscores the critical need for early diagnosis and aggressive management to prevent severe complications in pediatric anti-GBM disease.
