ANCA-negative pauci-immune glomerulonephritis (PIGN) represents a rare and often under-studied subgroup of the vasculitides. This study aims to investigate differences in the clinical phenotype, renal histological features, and clinical outcomes of patients with PIGN, with and without serum ANCA positivity.
