Glomerulonephritis, usually of a generalized proliferative crescent-forming histologic type with a rapidly progressive course, marked by circulating anti-GBM antibodies and linear deposits of immunoglobulin and complement along the glomerular basement membrane. When associated with pulmonary hemorrhage, the condition is called Goodpasture's syndrome. 1, record 1, English, - anti%2Dglomerular%20basement%20membrane%20antibody%20disease

Glomérulonéphrites auto-immunes. La plupart des glomérulonéphrites ont une origine immunitaire. Si le dépôt ou la formation locale de complexes immuns représente le mécanisme le plus fréquemment en cause, l'action néphrotoxique d'autoanticorps dirigés contre la membrane basale glomérulaire (GBM) a été bien démontrée chez certains malades. 1, record 1, French, - glom%C3%A9rulon%C3%A9phrite%20auto%2Dimmune

Glomérulonéphrites auto-immunes.

[...] L'intervention des anticorps anti-GMB dans la pathogénie des glomérulonéphrites avec dépôts linéaires fait peu de doute. 2, record 2, French, - anticorps%20anti%2Dmembrane%20basale%20glom%C3%A9rulaire
