Immunoadsorption in Goodpasture's syndrome.

Patients with Goodpasture's syndrome presenting with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal failure at diagnosis almost never regain independent renal function. We report a patient with a 100% crescentic lesion in whom reversal of dialysis dependence was achieved by immunoadsorption together with immunosuppression. In a second patient, early initiation of immunoadsorption was able to completely restore normal renal function as early as 1 month after the start of treatment. These data give evidence of the use of immunoadsorption as a hopeful alternative to conventional plasma exchange in patients with Goodpasture's syndrome showing advanced renal failure.
