Overview

Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect of making a diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome, as it can provide insight into cause, precipitating factors, and associated underlying conditions. Specific areas of focus are past medical history (any recent upper respiratory tract infection), and any family history of autoimmune disease. Symptoms may develop acutely or rapidly affecting the renal and pulmonary system. Symptoms of Goodpasture syndrome include malaise, pyrexia and chills and arthralgia, fatigue, lethargy, pallor, and anorexia.

Obtaining history is an important aspect in making a diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome. It provides insight into cause, precipitating factors and associated comorbid conditions. Complete history will help determine the correct therapy and helps in determining the prognosis. Specific histories about the symptoms (duration, onset, progression), associated symptoms, drug usage have to be obtained. Specific areas of focus when obtaining the history, are outlined below:
