Abstract

Goodpasture syndrome is a rare, autoimmune dis- ease characterized by diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage (DAH), glomerulonephritis, and the production of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. A 20-year-old male presented to the emergency de- partment of our hospital with progressive dyspnea and intermittent hemoptysis over the last four months. His posteroanterior chest radiograph demonstrated reticulonodular opacities throughout the both lungs and alveolar hemorrhage was the dominant patho- logic finding of the transbronchial biopsies. The uri- nalysis revealed microscopic hematuria and micro- albuminuria, and the percutaneous kidney biopsy demonstrated crescentic glomerulonephritis. Anti- glomerular basement membrane antibodies were detected in the circulation and the patient was diag- nosed with Goodpasture syndrome. This syndrome usually starts with DAH, which is followed by symp- toms of kidney disease and may result in chronic kidney failure. Physicians should always keep this syndrome in mind, especially in young adults present- ing with DAH; treatment of this syndrome should be initiated as soon as possible.

Özet

Goodpasture Sendromu nadir görülen ve otoimmün kökenli bir hastalık olup diffüz alveoler hemoraji (DAH), glomerülonefrit ve anti-glomerüler bazal membran antikorlarının üretimi ile karakterizedir. Yirmi yaşında erkek hasta hastanemizin acil servisine dört aydan beri artış gösteren nefes darlığı ve tekrar- layan hemoptizi yakınmaları ile başvurdu. Hastanın posteroanterior akciğer grafisinde her iki akciğerin tüm zonlarında retikülonodüler opasite artışı ve transbronşial akciğer biyopsisinde alveoler hemoraji ile uyumlu bulgular saptandı. İdrar analizinde hema- türi ve mikroalbüminüri tespit edilen hastanın, böbrek biyopsisi sonucu da kresentik glomerülonefrit olarak raporlandı. Dolaşımda antiglomerül bazal membran antikorlarının varlığı tespit edildi ve hastaya Good- pasture Sendromu tanısı konuldu. Goodpasture Sendromunda ilk başvuru genellikle DAH şeklinde olmakla birlikte, kronik böbrek yetmezliğine neden olabilecek böbrek tutulumu da gelişebilmektedir. Özellikle genç erişkinlerde DAH ile başvuran hasta- larda bu tanı akla getirilmeli ve uygun tedavi en kısa süre içerisinde başlanmalıdır..
