title: Transformation of membranous into anti-GBM nephritis.
abstract: Membranous nephropathy is a common glomerular disease. We report a 50-year-old man with a history of membranous nephropathy in remission, who presented with acute kidney injury, proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension. He also had a high anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody titer and crescent transformation of primary pathology. The kidney functions deteriorated rapidly despite aggressive therapy with cyclophosphamide, methylprednisolone, and plasmapheresis.
