Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome include presence of autoantibodies such as anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. Other findings associated with pulmonary and renal injury include elevated blood urea nitrogen, low-grade proteinuria, gross or microscopic hematuria, and red cell casts.

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome include presence of autoantibodies such as anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies.[1][2][3]
