Adding 6-month parameters for the prediction of kidney prognosis in ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis

Abstract

This work suggests the benefit of the reassessment of the kidney prognosis 6 months after AAV-GN diagnosis. Kidney function at this time remains the most reliable for predicting kidney outcome. Of the markers tested, persistent proteinuria at 6 months was the only one to slightly improve the prediction of ESKD.
