摘要

Pulmonary renal syndrome is characterized by the occurrence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) and diffuse alveolar haemorrhages (DAH) simultaneously secondary to an underlying autoimmune cause. It can be caused by a number of diseases but the most common causes include anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV), anti- glomerular base- ment membrane (anti GBM) disease and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study was conducted to determine the aetiology, clinical characteristics and outcome of patients admitted with pulmonary renal syndrome (PRS).
