A Not-So-Pauci-Immune Case of Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis with Atypical Immunoglobulin Deposits and Hypocomplementemia (KIDNEY WEEK 2026) - Oct 2, 2026 - Abstract #FR-PO0769; Pres time: Oct 23, 2026; 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM; Location: Exhibit Hall A, Convention Center; "He was treated with pulse-dose corticosteroids, rituximab (1,000 mg ×2 doses administered two weeks apart per RA protocol), followed by steroid taper and initiation of avacopan. Discussion RPGN is a nephrologic emergency that presents as glomerulonephritis with extremely rapid decline in renal function. Although diagnosis by kidney biopsy is gold-standard, here we show how overlapping pathology may obscure classification and we emphasize the importance of integrating clinical and serologic evidence to correctly identify and initiate appropriate treatment to optimize outcomes."
