She was transitioned to prednisone with avacopan initiated outpatient...Given her young age, good health, and abnormal uterine bleeding history, symptoms were attributed to iron deficiency anemia due to menorrhagia despite progressive renal dysfunction. Reassessment of the differential diagnosis is critical when clinical findings do not align with the presumed diagnosis, as delayed recognition may lead to progressive renal injury."
