| Core Tip |
Spontaneous atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) is a rare clinical entity. The role of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in atheroembolic diseases remains to be elucidated. Here, we report a case of rapidly progressive renal failure initially managed as cytoplasmic-ANCA associated renal disease but subsequently diagnosed as AERD with renal biopsy that responded surprisingly well to steroid therapy in a 62-year-old female patient. The patient was discharged with oral prednisone, and her renal function continued to improve during the initial follow-up. Although no specific treatment is available, the potential role of steroids requires exploration. |
