Tubular lesions predict renal outcome in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated glomerulonephritis after rituximab therapy

Histopathological features in renal biopsies of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic
antibody–associated vasculitis have predictive value for renal outcome in patients who
receive standard treatment with cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids; however, whether
the same holds true for rituximab-treated patients is unknown. We describe associations
between renal histopathology and outcomes among patients treated with a rituximab-based
regimen in the Randomized Trial of Rituximab versus Cyclophosphamide in ANCA …
