A kidney biopsy is preferred for the diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis with renal involvement. The aim our study was to evaluate prognostic value a histopathologic classification scheme recently proposed by an international consortium pathologists in large Norwegian cohort.Patients diagnosed GN were included from Kidney Biopsy Registry 1991-2012. Renal morphology classified as focal, mixed, crescentic, or sclerotic. Study end point ESRD. Patients followed 2012.Two hundred fifty...
Background . Immunosuppressive therapy for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis has been associated with increased malignancy risk. Objectives To quantify the cancer risk contemporary cyclophosphamide-sparing protocols. Methods Patients from Norwegian Kidney Biopsy Registry between 1988 and 2012 who had biopsy-verified pauci-immune glomerulonephritis positive antibody (ANCA) serology were included. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) calculated to compare study cohort...
QTc interval prolongation is a side effect of several antipsychotic drugs, with associated risks torsade de pointes arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. There an ongoing debate whether or not electrocardiogram (ECG) assessments should be mandatory in patients starting drugs. To investigate clinically relevant patient group 171 adult acutely admitted to emergency ward for psychosis were consecutively recruited. ECGs recorded at baseline then discharge after 6 weeks the latest (discharge/6...
