During the past decade a number of case reports have described the occurrence of different forms of renal disease in patients exposed to silica [58-66]. However, only a few reports concerned subjects exposed to sihca but without silicosis. Most of the cases demonstrated renal lesions compatible with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with a necrotizing component present in most cases. Crescent formation was described in a patient with proliferative glomerulonephritis [59] and three individuals with IgA nephropathy [60].

The optimal treatment of many types of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is not known since it is difficult to find sufficient number of patients to conduct well designed and credible clinical trials.
