All are TRUE about Goodpasture's syndrome, EXCEPT:
Goodpasture's syndrome appears in young men in their late 20s and in men and women in their 60-70s. Hemoptysis is largely confined to smokers. The patients present with lung hemorrhage as a group do better than older populations who have prolonged, asymptomatic renal injury. The performance of an urgent kidney biopsy is impoant in suspected cases of Goodpasture's syndrome. Ref: Harrisons Principles of Internal Medicine, 18th Edition, Page 2342
