Abstract
Goodpasture syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease,
with significant morbidity and mortality in young people
and otherwise healthy population. Complete disease remission
is possible with prompt diagnosis and treatment.
We report 3 cases with Goodpasture syndrome treated
at the Department of Nephrology, University Clinic of
Nephrology, with different outcome. All of the patients
were with similar clinical feature, with renal failure that
needed treatment with hemodialysis. But results of the
treatment with plasmapheresis indicate that this procedure
reduces morbidity in patients with Goodpasture syndrome.
The clinical course and the outcome of the disease
were different. The disease is unpredictable, and
the early diagnosis and start with the treatment is important
for the remission.
