Clinical and pathologic characteristics of pauci-immune anti-myeloperoxidase antibody associated glomerulonephritis with nephrotic range proteinuria.

CONCLUSIONS: Pauci-immune ANCA GN with nephrotic proteinuria do not have more severe hypoalbuminemia, hypercoagulability or hyperlipidemia than patients without nephrotic proteinuria. Non-selective proteinuria might be the reason. However, pauci-immune ANCA GN with nephrotic proteinuria have more prevalent crescentic category in histopathology, higher incidence of AKI, gross hematuria and poorer renal prognosis despite of good sensitivity to therapy of proteinuria.
