Development of anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis during the course of IgA nephropathy: a case report

BackgroundAnti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis does not usually coexist with another glomerulonephritis such as IgA nephropathy. We present a rare case having a combination of these two diseases, and furthermore, histological evaluation could be performed before and after the development of anti-GBM glomerulonephritis over a period of only10 months.
