ANCA-associated nephritis without crescent formation has atypical clinicopathological features: a multicenter retrospective study

ConclusionANCA-associated nephritis without crescent formation had different clinicopathological features from those with crescent formation, suggesting an atypical subtype of ANCA-associated nephritis. Despite the better renal function at the time of renal biopsy, these results suggest that this subtype requires especially careful attention, especially in the presence of extra-renal involvement.
