Clinicopathologic characteristics and long-term outcomes in glomerulonephritis with crescent formation: a 20-year single-center cohort study

Key Points

• To examine the clinicopathologic characteristics and long-term outcomes in patients with glomerulonephritis with crescent formation.
• 20-year cohort study
• Single-center analysis
• Evaluation of treatment-related factors
• Assessment of ESKD and overall survival
• Maintenance steroid monotherapy significantly linked to ESKD risk.
• Inadequate immunosuppression negatively impacts overall survival.
• Crescent formation correlates with poorer long-term outcomes.
