Interpretive Data

The presence of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies by Multiplex Bead Assay, may aid in the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome.  False positive results may occur due to reactivity against other chains of type IV collagen.  If Multiplex Bead Assay is negative but there is strong suspicion for disease, renal biopsy may be indicated.  A renal biopsy may also be essential in suspected Goodpasture disease with renal involvement, allowing diagnostic confirmation and assessment of renal prognosis.
