ResumenLa nefropatía por IgA es la glomerulonefritis más frecuente, en la cual menos del 10% de los pacientes cursan con deterioro rápido de la función renal. Los hallazgos histológicos de este grupo semejan los de vasculitis, con presencia de semilunas y necrosis fibrinoide. La coexistencia de nefropatía por IgA y anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilo es infrecuente y no está claro el rol patogénico de estos anticuerpos en la nefropatía por IgA. A continuación, se describe un caso de un paciente con nefropatía por IgA, glomerulonefritis rápidamente progresiva y anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilo positivos y se realiza una revisión de la literatura referente al tema.Palabras clave: nefropatía IgA, glomerulonefritis rápidamente progresiva, vasculitis, ANCA, semilunas. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.22265/acnef.4.2.272 Abstract IgA nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis, in which less than 10% of patients have a rapid decline of renal function. The histological findings of this group resemble those of vasculitis, with presence of crescents and fibrinoid necrosis. The coexistence of IgA nephropathy and neutrophil anti-cytoplasmic antibodies is infrequent, and the pathogenic role of these antibodies in IgA nephropathy is unclear. Here we describe a case of a patient with IgA nephropathy, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and neutrophil positive anti-cytoplasmic antibodies, and literature review is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
