	Goodpasture's Syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Goodpasture's syndrome is a rare disease that can affect the lungs and kidneys.
		To diagnose Goodpasture's syndrome, doctors use a blood test, but a kidney biopsy (or a lung biopsy) may be necessary to check for the presence of the harmful antibody.
		Goodpasture's syndrome is treated with oral immunosuppressive drugs (cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids) to keep the immune system from making antibodies.

		Goodpasture's syndrome is characterized by renal (kidney) disease and lung hemorrhage.
		The disorder is characterized by autoimmune reaction which deposits of antibodies in the membranes of both the lung and kidneys, causing both inflammation of kidney (glomerulonephritis) and lung bleeding.

		Substantial overlap between chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome exists: the latter two conditions often involve chemical sensitivity and may even be the same disorder.
		A 1994 study found that 67% of patients with fibromyalgia and the same percentage with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) reported that their symptoms worsened on exposure to gas, paint, or solvent fumes, and 46 to 64% of these groups reported sensitivities to three other categories of common chemical exposures (45).
		However, fibromyalgia syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and porphyrin disorders are multiple-system disorders involving chemical sensitivity.

		Antibodies to beta 2- glycoprotein 1 and the antiphospholipid syndrome.
		The current standard tests for the diagnosis of this syndrome are tests for cardiolipin antibodies and the lupus anticoagulant test.
		In addition to these 2 tests, we recommend testing for antibodies to beta 2 glycoprotein 1, given that recent studies suggest that these antibodies are more specific for the recognition of APS and may be present with negative standard tests (Levine et al, 2002).
