Rapidly Deteriorating Kidney Function in a Young Man Previously Diagnosed with Membranous Nephropathy

Here, we describe a case of a male patient who presented with extrarenal vasculitis symptoms, acute renal failure, hematuria and nephrotic-range proteinuria. ANCA serology was positive, and the biopsy revealed crescentic vasculitis plus membranous nephropathy. Reviewing the whole literature about similar histological cases, we included 38 cases with ANCA-positive serology and 30 ones with no ANCA in serum. It seems that in the first category vasculitis symptoms predominate, while in the second one these symptoms are absent. Their histological features have no major differences. In any case, the clinical course of these patients is serious, and in most cases, immunosuppression is essential in order to avoid end-stage renal disease.
