Diagn./Treatment

Glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide

Goodpasture syndrome: plasmapheresis in addition to immunosuppression

RPGN due to ANCA-associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis): combination therapy with glucocorticoids and rituximab is an effective alternative

If therapy is initiated early: full recovery of renal function in > 50% of cases

Without proper treatment, the prognosis is unfavorable: rapid progression to end-stage renal disease and high mortality
