ABSTRACT
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis(JRA) is the most common major connective tissue disease in children. Renal involvement in JRA is rare. Among the renal lesions that have been reported in JRA, amyloidosis and drug-induced nephropathy are the most common. Crescentic glomerulonephritis in JRA has rarely been reported. We report a case of ANCA-associated pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis in JRA. The patient was a 15-year old boy with a 3-year history of JRA. He presented with gross hematuria, proteinuria, positive p-ANCA and elevation of BUN and creatinine. Pathologic findings revealed focal necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis. There were no significant immunoglobulin or complement deposits. His renal function recovered after intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and oral steroid use. In Korea, this is the first reported case of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis in JRA. (J Korean Soc Pediatr Nephrol 2005;9:231-236)
