Double Trouble in the Basement! A Case of PLA2R-Associated Membranous Nephropathy with Atypical Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease
For our patient, rituximab resulted in remission of proteinuria. The lack of temporal association with the malignancy is consistent with the biopsy findings of PLA2R-associated membranous nephropathy. While there is not an established guideline for atypical anti-GBM disease, our case demonstrates the utility of rituximab for the management of concurrent atypical anti-GBM disease with membranous nephropathy.
