Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease is an uncommon disorder of the immune system in which the body itself produces antibodies that damage the kidneys and, at times, the lungs. It is one of the kidney conditions of immunological origin.
Symptoms that may appear: blood in the urine, decreased amount of urine, swelling, fatigue, and, when there is lung involvement, difficulty breathing or coughing up blood.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist evaluates kidney function, supported by the internist and, depending on the case, by laboratory tests. In children, the pediatric nephrologist is involved.
When to seek care? This is a condition that requires prompt professional evaluation when there are signs such as bloody urine or unexplained swelling; seeking care in time is essential.
