Antiglomerular basement membrane disease manifests as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and alveolar hemorrhage. It encompasses 10-15% of crescentic glomerulonephritis and is associated with poor outcome. In this study, we have elaborated on the clinical details, morphological features, and outcome of anti-GBM glomerulonephritis.
