Clinical features of IgA nephropathy with serum ANCA positivity: a retrospective case-control study

Conclusions
IgAN patients with ANCA positivity showed more severe clinical and histological features when compared with ANCA-negative IgAN patients and were comparable to AASV patients. However, renal prognosis was relatively better in ANCA-positive crescentic IgAN patients after aggressive immunosuppressive therapy in the short term, compared with ANCA-negative patients.
