Predictors of survival and renal replacement therapy in anca-associated vasculitis with renal involvement: An 11-year real-world cohort from North Macedonia.
Key takeaways
This study looked back at 11 years of records from North Macedonia's national kidney center. It covered adults with ANCA vasculitis that had reached the kidneys. This is a rare disease where the immune system inflames small blood vessels. The study looked for signs that predicted survival and the need for dialysis or a transplant, and it can show links but not proof of cause. The part of the abstract we have does not give the number of patients or the findings.
