Repeat protocol renal biopsy in ANCA-associated renal vasculitis.
BACKGROUND Histopathological lesions in renal biopsy (RB) at presentation of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) have been described in depth but repeat protocolized renal biopsies are seldomly performed in AAV. In this study, we present a group of AAV patients with repeat protocolized biopsies, and we evaluate their clinical significance. METHODS A total of 17 consecutive patients diagnosed bet...
متن کاملEnd-stage renal disease in ANCA-associated vasculitis.
The outcomes in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis have improved significantly over the past decades, although a significant proportion of them still reach end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is associated with a relatively low risk of relapsing vasculitis as a result of anti-rejection treatment after kidney transplantatio...
متن کاملOutcome of ANCA-associated primary renal vasculitis in Miyazaki Prefecture.
OBJECT We examined the prognosis of patients with onset of new primary renal vasculitis (PRV) in Miyazaki Prefecture. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled and followed-up 56 patients (age, 70.4 +/- 10.9 years, mean +/- SD) with onset of new PRV between January 2000 and December 2004, for a median of 24 months. Patients with PRV were defined according to the EUVAS (European Systemic Vasculitis Stu...
متن کاملUrine IgM excretion predicts outcome in ANCA-associated renal vasculitis.
BACKGROUND Renal function at diagnosis is a strong predictor not only of renal survival but also of patient survival of those with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated small vessel vasculitis (ASVV). Apart from the renal function at diagnosis, there are no other established risk factors for renal outcome in ASVV. We have previously reported that in other forms of glomerular di...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis developed from ANCA negative renal limited vasculitis
RATIONALE The relationship between antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and ANCA-negative vasculitis has not been elucidated. PATIENT CONCERNS A 64-year-old female with edema and proteinuria was admitted. A kidney biopsy indicated focal proliferative nephritis with crescents in 25% of glomeruli. Serum ANCA was negative. Eighteen months later, systemic sym...
