[Radiological examination in Goodpasture's syndrome (author's transl)]. 1977

T Hernády, and G Gottwald

Functional renal scans proved to be useful in assessing changes in renal function (progression and regression) in a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome. Perfusion lung scintigraphy revealed extensive, but circumscribed, areas of reduced activity. This scintigraphic phenomenon indicates reduced capillary perfusion in the lungs, paralleling the appearance of the radiograph.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D019867	Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease	An autoimmune disease of the KIDNEY and the LUNG. It is characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies targeting the epitopes in the non-collagenous domains of COLLAGEN TYPE IV in the basement membranes of kidney glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) and lung alveoli (PULMONARY ALVEOLI), and the subsequent destruction of these basement membranes. Clinical features include pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis.
