Goodpasture Syndrome
Is a rare autoimmune disorder targeting glomerular basement membrane causing acute necrotizing glomerulonephritis. It is often accompanied by hemorrhagic interstitial pneumonitis. It is a type II hypersensitivity disorder. The antibodies are targeting the noncollagenous domain of the α3 chain of collagen IV. Cases of Goodpasture Syndrome always presents with glomerulonephritis. Pulmonary hemorrhage is present in two third of the cases. The reason for this is that the glomerular basement membrane is available for antibodies circulating in the blood in the physiologic state. All other basement membranes can only be reached in pathological states. The alveolar membrane is often damaged by e.g. smoking, thus making the basement membrane available for antibodies.

Epidemiology
Goodpasture syndrome is a very rare disease. It only affects 1 in a million. It is more common among caucasians. There are no proven correlations with pathogen infections. It is however more frequent during sping and summer.

Females
GS presents is most common in females around the age of 60, and then most often only with glomerulonephritis.

Males
GS presents is most common in males around the age of 30. They are presented with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
