Shock wave lithotripsy may unmask epitopes within the glomerular basement membrane, leading to the formation of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies and clinical disease in susceptible individuals.

This may allow for early recognition, treatment and improved outcome of anti-GBM disease.
