Abstract
Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by pulmonary hemorrhage, glomerulonephritis, and an autoantibody to glomerular basement membrane antigens. Current management -of this potentially lethal disease consists of glucocorticoids to control pulmonary hemorrhage, cytotoxic drugs to inhibit further renal damage, and plasma exchange to clear circulating anti-basement membrane antibodies. These treatment modalities pose difficult management issues during pregnancy. We describe a successful pregnancy outcome in a parturient with Goodpasture syndrome. Antepartum care included serial pulmonary and renal evaluations. In patients without disease progression, a favorable outcome may be possible.
