AbstractIn 2021 new KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) guidelines for the management of glomerular diseases were published.For ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis the new recommendations comprise a more rapid steroid taper during induction treatment with cyclophosphamide or rituximab, the advice against routine use of plasma exchange, the choice of drug for and duration of maintenance treatment in accordance with predictors of relapse. A kidney transplant should be performed after at least 6 months of remission irrespective of the ANCA titer in ANCA-associated disease, and 6 months after absence of anti-GBM-antibodies in anti-GBM-disease.Thieme.
