Membranous glomerulonephropathy with crescents

Clin Nephrol. 1975 Nov;4(5):198-201.

Abstract

A case is reported in which typical histological features of idiopathic membranous glomerulonephropathy co-existed with atypical glomeruli showing cellular epithelial crescents in addition to diffuse basement-membrane thickening. These features were seen in a renal biopsy specimen taken during rapidly progressive deterioration of renal function in a patient previously known to have mild ankle edema for four years.
