The Anti-GBM IgG Antibodies test detects and measures IgG antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), a key structural component of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli) and the lung alveoli. These antibodies are involved in autoimmune attacks that can cause severe kidney and lung damage.
This test is essential for diagnosing Goodpasture’s syndrome (anti-GBM disease), an autoimmune disorder characterized by rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
