Developments in the Histopathological Classification of ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis.

CONCLUSIONS: The crescentic and mixed classes seem to have a similar prognosis, also after adjusting for differences in patient populations, treatment, and interobserver agreement. However, at this stage, we are not inclined to merge the crescentic and mixed classes because the reported confidence intervals do not exclude important differences in prognosis and because an important histopathologic distinction would be lost.
