Overview
If left untreated, Goodpasture syndrome can progress to end stage renal disease and pulmonary failure. Complications of Goodpasture syndrome include, infections, alveolar hemorrhage, end stage renal disease, and pulmonary failure. The prognosis of Goodpasture syndrome is variable, as it depends upon the diagnosis, start of treatment and the level of serum creatinine.
Natural History
If left untreated, Goodpasture syndrome can progress to end stage renal disease and pulmonary failure.
Complications
Possible complications of Goodpasture syndrome include:
Prognosis
In the past the prognosis of Goodpasture syndrome was fatal.[3] Today, the prognosis of Goodpasture syndrome is heavily dependent on the time of diagnosis, the start of medication, and the level of serum creatinine.[4]
The following are favorable prognostic factors:
- Aggressive treatment with corticosteroids, plasmapheresis, and immunosuppressants.
- Serum creatinine of less than 5.7 mg/dL
The following are poor prognostic factors:
- Serum creatinine that is greater than 5.7 mg/dL
- Patients who require long term dialysis
- Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of less than 15 mL/min
- Advanced age
- Low hemoglobin
- High white blood cell count
- Crescent formation that have extended greater than 80% of glomeruli
- ANCA and anti-GBM antibodies present together [5]
The current 5 year survival rate of Goodpasture syndrome is greater than 80% and patients requiring long-term renal dialysis less than 30% in advent to earlier diagnosis and aggressive treatment regimen. [6]
- The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
- The goal is to summarize the entire page in several sentences. This section can be the same as the natural history, complications and prognosis segment on the overview page.

Template
- First Sentences:
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3]. Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3]. Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- OR
- Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- Examples:
- Example 1: If left untreated, 20% to 30% of patients with IgA nephropathy may progress to develop ESRD. Common complications of IgA nephropathy include pro-thrombotic states, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Prognosis is generally good, and the 5-year mortality rate of patients with IgA nephropathy is approximately 5%.
- Additional Sentences:
- [Disease/malignancy] is associated with a 5 year survival rate of [#]%.
- The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy]. The 5 year event free survival rate is less than [#]%.
- The [Subtype of disease or malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor: [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
- Examples:
- Example 1: Rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with a 5 year survival rate of 72%.
- Example 2: The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with rhabdomyosarcoma. The 5 year event free survival rate is less than 30%.
- Example 3: The embryonal subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- Example 4: The prognosis varies with the location of tumor: orbital and genitourinary tract rhabdomyosarcomas have the most favorable prognosis.
Preferred Template Statements

- Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
Additional Sentences
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
Natural History
- The natural history of disease details how the disease progresses without treatment.
- Here are a few template sentences you can use: "The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___. The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___. Without treatment, the patient will develop symptoms of ___, which will/ may eventually lead to ___.
Complications
- Using lists can be helpful for describing this section.
- You can use these template sentences;
- "Complications that can develop as a result of (disease name) are ___ (describe in list form)".
- "Complications that can develop as a result of the treatment of (disease name) are ___ (describe in list form).
- Next to each complication, provide a brief one sentence description detailing the complication.

Prognosis
- This section should detail the prognosis of the disease, both treated and untreated.
- Here are some template sentences; "The prognosis of (disease name) is poor/good with treatment. Without treatment, (disease name) will result in ___. (Disease name) is associated with a 1/5/10 year mortality of __ among patient with ______ (for example high grade lesions). The presence of ___ is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with (disease name).
