Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Renal transplantation is usually reserved for patients who present with undetectable circulating anti-glomerular basement antibodies in serum for 12 months and at least 6 months after stopping the use of cytotoxic agents.
Surgery
- Surgical intervention in the form of renal transplantation is indicated in patients with end-stage renal disease.
- Renal transplantation may be performed when anti-glomerular basement membranes are undetectable for 6 months with no signs of pulmonary involvement.[1][2][3]
