Rheumatology key messagesRecurrence of AAV after renal transplant is rare but can occur.Concomitant pathologies can coexist, emphasizing the importance of approaching each case with an open mind and a high index of suspicion and obtaining all objective data available.sCD163 is a novel non-invasive urine biomarker for the detection of glomerular inflammation (e.g. AAV relapse).The use of molecular analysis in conjunction with machine learning algorithms, through MMDx-Kidney, can augment the standard of care in the workup of renal transplant dysfunction.
