Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. Despite advances in surgical techniques and treatment regimens, the therapeutic effects of glioma remain unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy has brought new hope to glioma patients, but its therapeutic outcomes are limited by the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis caused by the deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies in the basement membrane of glomerular capillaries and lung alveoli, leading to rapidly progressive renal failure and/or alveolar hemorrhage. We report the case of an 83-year-old female patient presenting with uremic symptoms, rapidly progressive kidney failure, and a high titer of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. Given the urgent need for kidney replacement therapy, the substantial fibrosis and glomerular scarring observed in the kidney biopsy suggesting a chronic process, and the absence of pulmonary involvement, neither immunosuppressive treatment nor plasmapheresis was initiated, since a low likelihood of a favorable response to these interventions was expected.
