Goodpasture syndrome is an uncommon autoimmune disorder that can harm the lungs and kidneys. This condition occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly targets and damages the tissues in these organs. The antibodies produced by the body attack the collagen in the basement membrane of the lungs and kidneys, which results in inflammation and injury to these organs. Symptoms of Goodpasture syndrome include tiredness, coughing up blood, breathing difficulties, and kidney failure. Diagnosis typically involves blood and urine tests to look for the specific antibodies associated with the syndrome, as well as imaging tests to assess the extent of lung and kidney damage. We report two cases of Good-Pasture syndrome admitted to the emergency room with alveolar hemorrhage, whose anatomopathological examinations later confirmed the diagnosis.
