Spontaneous Remission In Idiopathic Membranous Glomerulonephritis With Crescents
Southern Medical Journal 75(3): 1982; 356-359
View Original Source →Abstract
A patient with rapidly progressive renal disease was found to have membranous glomerulopathy with crescent formation. These lesions were associated with circulating immune complexes, but circulating antiglomerular basement membrane antibody was not found. Spontaneous improvement of renal function occurred, probably unrelated to therapy.
