    Abstract Background: The presence of a full house pattern at immunofluorescence on kidney biopsy in a patient without clinical and laboratory features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has led to the descriptive term non-lupus full house nephropathy. This systematic review and meta-analysis focus on non-lupus full house nephropathy nomenclature, clinical findings and outcomes.
    Methods: In a reiterative process, all identified terms for non-lupus full house nephropathy and other MeSH terms were searched in PubMed. Out of 344 results, 57 records published between 1982 and 2022 were included in the analysis. Clinical data of single patients from different reports were collected. Patients were classified into three pathogenetic categories, which were compared according to baseline characteristics, treatments and outcomes.
    Results: Out of the 57 records, 61% were case reports. Non-lupus full house nephropathy was addressed with 17 different names. We identified 148 patients: 75(51%) were males; median age 35(23-58) years. Serum creatinine and proteinuria at onset were 1.4(0.8-2.5)mg/dL and 5.7(2.7-8.8)g/day. About half of patients achieved complete response. A causative agent was identified in 51(44%) patients, mainly infectious (41%). Secondary non-lupus full house nephropathy was mostly non-relapsing with worse kidney function at onset compared to idiopathic disease (P=0.001). Among the 57(50%) patients with idiopathic non-lupus full house nephropathy, complete response was comparable between patients treated with immunosuppression and supportive therapy; however, proteinuria and creatinine at onset were higher in patients treated with immunosuppression (P=0.09 and P=0.07). The remaining 7(6%) patients developed SLE after a median follow-up of 5.0(1.9-9.0) years.
    Conclusions: Our data support that SLE and non-lupus full house nephropathy are distinct clinical entities, with comparable outcomes. A small subset of patients develops SLE during follow-up. Non-lupus full house nephropathy is addressed by many different names in the literature. The identification of three pathogenetic categories provides further clues for the management of the disease.

  3. Article: The place of cyclical therapy for the treatment of membranous nephropathy in the era of rituximab.

    Abstract Primary membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, due to a variety of autoantibodies, most frequently against phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R). In severe cases or when spontaneous remission is not achieved, immunosuppression is required. Cyclical therapy, based on glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide on alternate months for 6 months, has proven effective to induce remission and reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease. Since the early 2000s, rituximab (RTX) has emerged as a key player in the management of MN, showing overall comparable effectiveness and likely better safety compared with the cyclical regimen, despite the lack of adequately powered trials comparing the two approaches head to head. For these reasons, RTX is now considered the agent of choice for most patients with MN. However, there are still uncertainties. Around 20-40% of patients are resistant to RTX, especially in the setting of high anti-PLA2R levels, and this drug remains relatively unexplored in patients with the most severe disease. In these scenarios, although the expanding therapeutic armamentarium is probably going to provide further options, the cyclical regimen still plays a key role as a safety net. The aim of this article is to illustrate the role of cyclical therapy in the RTX era.

    Abstract Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are rare autoimmune diseases characterised by medium and small vessels inflammation. Renal vasculitic involvement is one of the most severe manifestations, with high mortality in case of a delayed diagnosis and a significant impact on patients' long-term prognosis. Histological classifications and scores for the definition of renal involvement in AAV exist and correlate with the renal outcome. Current induction regimen consists of a high dose of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophosphamide (CYC), rituximab (RTX) or a combination of both. RTX use is expanding thanks to randomised control trials suggesting its non-inferiority compared to the standard CYC therapy in general AAV and a better safety profile; its cost has also reduced thanks to the availability of biosimilars. However, the equivalence of RTX and CYC in patients with severe renal involvement is still debated. The quest for the ideal induction regimen in AAV is moving towards a more personalized approach: on the one hand, efforts are made to use already existing therapies in the most appropriate way; on the other, new insights into AAV pathogenesis has allowed the discovery of new targets, such as the complement factor C5a. Thanks to this new AAV management, renal outcome and overall survival has visibly improved. New studies are needed to reach a more personalized approach in the induction regimen of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and AAV in general.
