Improving Mortality in End ‐Stage Renal Disease due to Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis from 1995 to 2014

Cause‐specific death due to CVD and infections each declined significantly during the study period. These findings are encouraging and likely reflect improved management of both GPA and ESRD.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
