Abstract
The treatment of renal AAV involves the use of steroids in combination with other immunosuppressive agents like cyclophosphamide to induce remission followed by maintenance therapy with a less potent agent like azathioprine. Plasmapharesis has a definite role especially in presence of renal failure while Rituximab is emerging as a promising alternative for remission induction.
