Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis in the native kidney presents with renal insufficiency, proteinuria, and hematuria, and is usually due to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Rarely, kidney transplants can show this pattern as de novo disease. We performed a retrospective analysis in 10 cases of ...
Occasionally, mycobacterial infection stimulates the immune system, inducing the generation of antibodies that may lead to autoimmune diseases secondary to primary TB infection, such as vasculitis. To the best of our knowledge, no data have been reported on the prevalence of vasculitis, al...
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a severe type of nephritic syndrome that involves progressive loss of kidney function and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. RPGN has many etiologies, of which pauci-immune crescenting glomerulonephritis (PICGN...

Dear Sir, We would like to thank Drs Fujinaga and Nishino [1] for their thoughtful response to our retrospective study of children with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis at our single center. First, we would like to compliment them on their favorable long-term outcomes in their patients. We ...
Renal biopsy revealed a pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (PICGN). The diagnosis was consistent with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Management initially comprised teratogen sparing agents; steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin; and plasma exchange. The response was suboptimal and she became ...

The patient was diagnosed with ANCA -negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (CrGN). Intensive treatment with methylprednisolone pulse therapy, plasma exchange, and multiple drug therapy including prednisolone and cyclophosphamide resulted in histopathological improvement and complete remission of ...
(ANCA)-associated pauci-immune vasculitis.Renal biopsy specimens from seven patients with MPO-ANCA positive pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) were used to detect the staining of membrane attack complex (MAC), C3d, C4d, mannose-binding lectin (MBL), factor B and factor ...
