Management of Double-Seropositive Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane and Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies with 100% Crescentic Glomerulonephritis and Nephrotic Range Proteinuria in a Young Female

Abstract

Nephrotic range proteinuria in the setting of dual-positive anti-glomerular basement membrane (AGBM) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) is rare. Furthermore, using rituximab as a primary immunosuppressant along with steroids and plasmapheresis has not been widely studied. We present a case of dual AGBM and ANCA with nephrotic range proteinuria in a young female, where rituximab was used as a primary immunosuppressant with partial recovery.
