Recurrence of anti-glomerular membrane antibody glomerulonephritis seems to be an unusual clinical phenomenon. We report a 57-year-old man with recurrence of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody glomerulonephritis. He developed a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody (anti-GBM Ab), and recovered with a combined treatment of prednisolone, anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents. After a 2-year remission, hematuria and proteinuria followed by renal functional deterioration occurred without any obvious cause. The second renal biopsy revealed cellular crescents with linear IgG deposition along GBM, a finding similar to the first one. The aforementioned combined treatment resulted in a gradual recovery from proteinuria and renal functional derangement.
