Would you pursue a kidney biopsy in a patient with stable stage 1 AKI, bland urine sediment, and a positive MPO titer without systemic signs of vasculitis?
Answer from: at Community Practice
In general, I would monitor the patient in the absence of hematuria or proteinuria, as necrotizing GN is unlikely. However, in ANCA, arteritis can occur without GN, though this presentation is uncommon.
