Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a severe type of nephritic syndrome that involves progressive loss of kidney function and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. RPGN has many etiologies, of which pauci-immune crescenting glomerulonephritis (PICGN) is the most common; however, patients often present with nonspecific symptoms, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We describe one such case that was correctly identified only after multiple clinic and hospital encounters.

ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) are small-vessel necrotizing vasculitides, with no or few immune deposits. They are usually associated with the presence of ANCA antibodies (AntiNeutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody), targeted either against proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) or myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA). ANCA-associated vasculitides include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome).
