Abstract EN
Capillary necrosis is frequently encountered in most forms of proliferative glomerulonephritis, and varies in severity from only occasional finding to severe form of glomerular vacuities.
We report a patient who presented with features of acute glomerulonephritis.
Kidney biopsy showed crescents in 30% of the glomeruli, diffuse meningeal expansion and hyper cellularity with IgA deposits on immunofluorescence.
The relevance of the Lee-Haas classification is discussed in relation to assessing prognosis.
