ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 58-year-old male diabetic patient admitted to our department for a slight decrease in kidney function, with nephrotic range proteinuria, hematuria (16,000/ml) and positive anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. Kidney biopsy revealed diabetic nephropathy with no evidence of crescent formation or linear immunoglobulin deposits along the basement membrane. We discuss the various clinical settings involving positive anti-glomerular basement membrane in the absence of crescentic glomerulonephritis.
