Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Clinical information of children with ANCA-associated nephritis admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University and partner centers from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 was collected:
To evaluate and compare the differences in survival, renal outcomes, and adverse reactions in children with ANCA-associated nephritis given different interventions according to the revised PARRG risk stratification, and to evaluate the superiority of ANCA-associated nephritis given according to the revised PARRG risk stratification.
(2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid combined with rituximab and cyclophosphamide as induction regimen in high-risk group and glucocorticoid combined with rituximab as induction regimen in children with ANCA-associated nephritis (AAGN) in low and middle risk group based on PARRG risk stratification

| Other: Control group-Low and medium risk group The children with AAGN admitted to all cooperating units during 2017.01.01 to 2022.12.31 were followed up for more than 6 months, and the case data were complete. PARRG Classification (pediatric AAGN renal risk grade, pediatric AAV renal risk grade, PARRG) According to the PARRG grading method provided by the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, the enrolled children with AAGN were classified into high risk group, medium risk group, low risk group, medium risk group, low risk combination and low risk group according to the two indexes of eGFR and percentage of glomerular sclerosis during renal biopsy. PARRG risk grading criteria: There are two risk factors for ESRD: (1) eGFR≤20ml/min/1.73m2 at renal biopsy; ② The proportion of glomerular sclerosis ≥30%; High risk resistance: meet 2 risk factors; Moderate risk group: only 1 risk factor; Low risk group: no above risk factors; |
Drug: GlucoCorticoid
The high-risk group: methylprednisolone intravenous 15-30mg/kg/d (Max.500mg/d)*3 days , with 2 courses, interval 5-7 days;Oral prednisone acetate 1.5-2mg/kg/d (Max. 60mg/d) during methylprednisolone impact interval and later stage, with the first reduction after 2-4 weeks. The dose was reduced once every 3 weeks in the first 3 months, and once every 4 weeks in the next 3 months, with a reduction of 5-10mg/ day each time; Rituximab：375 mg/m2/ time, once a week for 4 times;Intravenous cyclophosphamide 7.5-10mg/kg.d*2 days(Max.500mg/d), once every 4 weeks, twice in total, at the 8th and 12th week.The medium-low risk group: methylprednisolone was the same dose as before, but only with 1 course, then followed by oral prednisone acetate 1.5-2mg/kg/d (Max. 60mg/d), divided into three times for 3 weeks, and then changed to morning daily; The dose was reduced as the high-risk group ;Rituximab was the same dose as before.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60ml/min/1.73m2, or a decrease of less than 15% from baseline eGFR; 2. Proteinuria ≤0.3g/24 hours.Partial AAGN response was defined as: 1. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30ml/min/1.73m2, or a reduction of less than 50% from baseline eGFR; 2. Decreased proteinuria>Baseline 50% or 24-hour urinary protein quantification<50mg/Kg.d.
