Increased pulmonary technetium-99m DTPA accumulation in a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome. 1985

Z H Oster, and H L Atkins

Goodpasture's syndrome is characterized by the triad of glomerulonephritis, intra-alveolar pulmonary hemorrhage, and presence of antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies. It has been shown earlier that intra-alveolar hemorrhage can be detected with radioisotopic techniques. A patient with Goodpasture's syndrome showing increased pulmonary accumulation of Tc-99m DTPA with no evidence of pulmonary hemorrhage is presented.

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.
