Featured Abstract
Kidney biopsy chronicity grading in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
Kidney biopsy is valuable for prognostic assessment of renal outcomes in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) but the impact of chronic changes is not determined. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of myeloperoxidase (MPO)- or proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA-positive patients with AAV and active renal disease. We applied the Mayo Clinic Chronicity Score (MCCS) and validated and evaluated its implications on outcome prediction in AAV-GN. Chronic changes on kidney histology independently predict renal function, outcomes and response to treatment in AAV-GN.
