The Quiet Crisis: Normotensive Scleroderma Renal Crisis in Newly Diagnosed Systemic Sclerosis-Myositis Overlap (KIDNEY WEEK 2026) - Oct 2, 2026 - Abstract #FR-PO0486; Pres time: Oct 23, 2026; 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM; Location: Exhibit Hall A, Convention Center; "She received pulse methylprednisolone, IVIG, rituximab, and prednisone 60 mg daily...Valsartan was discontinued, captopril aggressively titrated, and prednisone rapidly tapered...Pathology confirmed SRC with superimposed acute tubular injury, showing endothelial injury, fibrointimal hyperplasia, luminal narrowing, and ischemic glomerular changes without immune deposits.The patient was transitioned to lisinopril and nifedipine ER for discharge...High-dose steroids likely precipitated disease, while ARB therapy may have obscured recognition. Renal biopsy proved diagnostically valuable by identifying concurrent acute tubular injury explaining delayed renal recovery."
