Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
Synonyms: Anti-GBM syndrome | Goodpasture syndrome
A rare fulminant small vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs and characterized by the presence of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and in its full-blown form anti-alveolar basement membrane (ABM) antibodies.
