Goodpasture syndrome. A 45-year-old man was admitted to the intensive care unit with respiratory failure secondary to massive hemoptysis and acute renal failure. The antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies were strongly positive. The autopsy showed consolidated lung from extensive bleeding, which led to asphyxiation.
Goodpasture syndrome. Close-up view of gross pathology in a 45-year-old man admitted to the intensive care unit with respiratory failure secondary to massive hemoptysis and acute renal failure. The antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies were strongly positive. The autopsy showed consolidated lung from extensive bleeding, which led to asphyxiation.
Cytoplasmic antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (c-ANCA), which can appear in Goodpasture syndrome, are also commonly observed in Wegener granulomatosis and other vasculitides.
Perinuclear antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA), which can appear in Goodpasture syndrome, are also observed in Churg-Strauss vasculitis and occasionally in Wegener granulomatosis.
This is a renal biopsy slide of a patient who presented with hemoptysis and hematuria. The renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis, which may be caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, or Goodpasture syndrome.
Goodpasture syndrome. A 35-year-old man who previously smoked cigarettes heavily, developed massive hemoptysis. The blood work showed positive anti–glomerular basement membrane antibodies.
