    What is Good Pasture Syndrome?

    Good pasture syndrome is defined as an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body is mistakenly harmed or destroys the healthy cells of the specific organs of the body especially the cells of kidney and lungs.

    In Good pasture syndrome, the attacking part of the cell is the specific protein that is collagen which is present in the cells of tiny air sacs in the lungs and filtering units that is glomeruli of the kidney.

    The immune system starts producing antibodies against the cells of lungs and kidneys. Such antibodies are known as anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. This basement membrane plays a very important role in kidneys as it leads to the filtration of blood and makes urine. These antibodies damage this base membrane and disturb the filtration function of kidneys.

    In the case of lungs, these antibodies produced by the immune system damage air sacs and cause bleeding.

    The main cause of formation of these auto-antibodies is the viral respiratory infection in which body immune system produces antibodies against the virus but due to the resemblance of body cells with antigen to be attacked the immune cells starts attacking the healthy cells of the lungs and kidneys.
