Overview

Goodpasture syndrome should be differentiated from other diseases presenting as fever, hematuria and hemoptysis. It should also be differentiated from other causes of small vessel vasculitis.

Differentials Based On Renal Involvement

Goodpasture syndrome is associated with renal involvement in the form of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The various types of glomerular diseases should be differentiated from each other based on associations, presence of pitting edema, hematuria, hypertension, hemoptysis, oliguria, peri-orbital edema, hyperlipidemia, type of antibodies, light and electron microscopic features. The following table differentiates between various types of glumerular diseases:
