88% with RPGN, creatinine 418 +/- 264 micromol/l.

need to review. acute vs chronic? treatment? what was adjusted for? endpoint is return to Cr <2 vs ESRD? did treatment delay ESRD?

Point of No Return
115 patients
3 courses could be distinguished:
a stable chronic course (91 patients),
early acute course followed by a rapid return to the normal
range. (only 2 patients)
a progressive course with increasing SCr (22 patients),
After SCr exceeding 3 mg/dl no remissions were observed in
the progressive cases.
16 patients showed a rapid, continuously progressive course
until ESKD. SCr doubled from 3 to 6 mg/dl within an average of
10 months (range 2.5 to 21 months).

Suggestions
Proteinuria
ACE-I or ARB if urinary proteinuria 0.5-1.0 g/day; dose if adverse
events are acceptable to achieve urinary protein excretion of < 1
g/day (2D)
6-mo glucocorticoid therapy if proteinuria > 1 g/day continues after 36 mos of ACEi or ARB, and GFR > 50 ml/min (2C)
Fish oil of proteinuria > 1 g/day continues after 3 to 6 mos (2D)
Blood Pressure
< 130/80 mm Hg if proteinuria is < 1 g/day, but < 125/75 mm Hg if
initial proteinuria is > 1 g/day (not graded)
