A Case Report of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome with Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis Combined with Membranous Nephropathy

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is a group of clinical syndromes, in which renal function of patient progressively deteriorates with pathological manifestation of extensive glomerular crescent formation. Among which, anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody glomerulonephritis is the rarest but the most aggressive subtype. This paper discusses a case of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis combined with membranous nephropathy. There were posterior reversible encephalopathy syndromes during diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis was confirmed in time by laboratory examination and renal pathology. Condition of the patient was alleviated through close work between all departments. This allowed us to further understand the case characteristics of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis combined with membranous nephropathy, importance of effective prevention, and significance of various complications during treatment, so as to alleviate pain and improve prognosis in patient.
