Anti-glomerular basement membrane

Glomerular diseases (e.g., anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, focal segmental glomerularsclerosis, IgA nephropathy, hemolytic uremic syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, Alport s syndrome, amyloidosis, membranous nephropathy, and Goodpasture s syndrome)... 

Microwave heat-assisted enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been used for measuring anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies in kidney serum (Van Dorp et al., 1991) The presence of GBM antibodies is one of the characteristics of Goodpasture s syndrome. The application of microwave heating reduces the duration of incubation to assay circulating anti-GBM autoantibodies. 

Hayashi et al. (1996) tested the effects of a flavonoid in original-type anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody associated glomerulonephritis in male Sprague Dawley rats on upregulation of intracellular adhesion molecule expression and on increase in leukocyte function-associated antigen positive cells in nephritic glomeruli.

The major pathologic presentation of solvent associated nephropathy is that of anti-glomerular basement membrane disease [39] but epimembraneous and subacute proliferative glomerulonephritis have also been demonstrated. In addition, Narvarte et al. [40] reported on a patient with ulcerative colitis in which chronic interstitial nephritis developed that later was attributed to long-term exposure to organic solvents.
