Resumen
MONTALVO, Gonzalo et al. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with ANCA-vasculitis. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.4, pp.630-637. ISSN 0186-4866. https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v34i4.1241.
The renal glomerulus highly vascularized structure is affected by a small vessel vasculitis group associated with neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) described by its relative scarcity of pauci-immune deposits as immune. This vasculitis is classified according to international consensus in Chapel-Hill microscopic poliangetitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis and the called vasculitis limited to the kidney. From the anatomopathological point of view, the rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis can be divided into pauci-immune, anti glomerular basement membrane and mediated by immune complexes. The treatment is generally based on immunosuppressive therapy and renal therapy support from conservative measures to renal replacement therapy. This paper reports a case of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with ANCA pathological confirmation.
