Major Systemic Rheumatic Diseases Leading to ESRD and Their Representative Examples.
| Diseases | Representative examples |
|---|---|
| SLE | Lupus nephritis |
| Systemic sclerosis | Scleroderma renal crisis |
| AAV | ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis, RPGN |
| anti-GBM disease | anti-GBM glomerulonephritis, RPGN |
| IgA vasculitis | IgA vasculitis nephritis |
| Amyloidosis | Amyloid nephropathy |
| Drug-induced | Calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity |
SLE = Systemic lupus erythematosus, AAV = ANCA-associated vasculitis, RPGN = rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, anti-GBM Ab = anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody, ESRD = end-stage renal disease
