Predictors of renal and patient outcomes in anti-GBM disease: clinicopathologic analysis of a two-centre cohort

Abstract

Oligoanuria is the strongest predictor of patient and renal survival while percentage of glomerular crescents is the only pathologic parameter associated with poor renal outcome in anti-GBM disease. Kidney biopsy may not be necessary in oligoanuric patients without pulmonary haemorrhage.
