What Is Goodpasture Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Who’s at Risk?
Nobody is completely safe from Goodpasture syndrome, but there are some groups that are more likely to develop the condition than others. For example, it is more common in white people than in people of other races. This does not mean to say people of other races cannot get the disease, however.
Men are also more likely to catch it than women are, and men in certain age brackets are also a higher risk category. Those between the ages of 20 and 30 are in high risk category, as are those over the age of 60. All people are advised to take health precautions regardless of which categories they fall in.
