Abstract In case of AAV with kidney involvement, physicians should explore anti‐GBM antibodies and be aware of the possible sequential development of AAV, especially with MPO‐ANCA, and anti‐GBM glomerulonephritis. This sequential disease history is associated with a poor renal outcome, highlighting the need for urgent diagnosis and management.
