Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis due to anti-glomerular basement membrane disease accompanied by IgA
Abstract:
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is characterized by autoantibodies against antigenic site on type IV collagen of the GBM. The coexistence of anti-GBM disease and other immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis is common. Herein, we describe a patient presented with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, who was diagnosed as IgA-mediated nephropathy and was found to have abundant serum anti-glomerular basement membrane IgG antibodies. The patient's renal function improved considerably with intensive immunosuppressive therapy.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
