Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis (GN) Masquerading as Drug-Induced Lupus Nephritis: A Biopsy That Changed Management (KIDNEY WEEK 2026) - Oct 2, 2026 - Abstract #SA-PO0792; Pres time: Oct 24, 2026; 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM; Location: Exhibit Hall A, Convention Center; "He received intravenous methylprednisolone with oral prednisone taper and rituximab induction: 1 g x 2 doses, two weeks apart. In this case, while the patient's hydralazine use strongly suggested drug-induced lupus, PAS-positive intracapillary pseudothrombi and CD68+ monocytes on biopsy shifted treatment toward rituximab rather than drug withdrawal alone. Rituximab induction alone produced sustained remission of the renal, pulmonary, and cutaneous involvement."
