Long-Term Outcome of Patients with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-Associated Vasculitis with Renal Involvement

Abstract

Patient survival, relapse rate and mortality were comparable to similar reports. In view of the severity of the renal disease and the length of follow-up, renal survival was very good. Despite effective treatment, the long-term outcome of patients with ANCA-associated renal vasculitis remains unsatisfactory.
