Clinical implications of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody test in lupus nephritis.

abstract：:There is evidence to suggest that a renal embryogenesis disorder, with an associated deficit of nephrons, may be the cause of nephropathy later in the lives of patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN). This evidence includes the renal dysplasia or hypoplasia observed in BEN patients, the high incidence of renal ...
