Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease treated with mycophenolate mofetil, corticosteroids, and plasmapheresis.
Clinical Nephrology 2013 July
An 18-year-old woman presented with anemia, pulmonary hemorrhage, and necrotizing glomerulonephritis, and was diagnosed with anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease. Treatment was undertaken with plasma exchange, mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids, due to patient refusal of cyclophosphamide. Clinical remission was successfully induced with this fertility-sparing regimen. A relapse due to therapy non-adherence was successfully treated with a second course of plasmapheresis, mycophenolate, and steroids. Thereafter, 6 months of directly observed therapy resulted in a favorable outcome with well-preserved pulmonary and renal function. This case suggests the possibility that mycophenolate may have a role in the treatment of anti-GBM disease.
