Abstract: The prognostic value of renal biopsy in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis is widely recognized; however, there is no consensus regarding its pathological classification. Berden et al. proposed a new classification of glomerulonephritis in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) categorized into focal, crescentic, mixed, and sclerotic classes and showed its prognostic value in 100 international multicenter cohorts for 1- and 5-year renal outcomes. In order to evaluate whether this new classification has predictive value and reproducibility in Japanese AAV cases, 87 cohorts with only microscopic polyangiitis in 3 limited centers in Japan were analyzed. In addition, those from Japan, Europe (Berden's cohorts) and China were compared in a recent report.
