Laboratory Findings

Serum analysis often aids in the diagnosis of a specific underlying disease. The presence of anti-GBM antibodies suggests type I RPGN; antinuclear antibodies (ANA) may support a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus and type II RPGN; and type III and idiopathic RPGN are frequently associated with ANCA-positive serum.
