Figure 1

Clinical courses and renal biopsies in two patients with ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis who were successfully treated with eicosapentaenoic acid in combination with steroids.

Clinical course of Case 1 (A) and Case 2 (B). Medications are indicated in the top panel. Serum creatinine (Cr) and serum MPO-ANCA titers are indicated in the middle panel. Hematuria grade and serum CRP are indicated in the bottom panel. The pathology views of the renal biopsy specimens are shown on the right (original magnification 400×). mPSL, methylprednisolone; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid. Conversion factor for units: serum creatinine in mg/dL to mol/L, × 88.4.
