INTRODUCTION: There is scarce data on the clinical profile of adult Brazilian @entity1 with @entity1985 caused by @entity1987 ( @entity1987 ) and @entity628 . OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the clinical characteristics and response to treatment in adult @entity1 with @entity1985 having a histological diagnosis of @entity1987 or @entity15168 . METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of 50 @entity1 with @entity1987 and 120 with @entity15168 . All @entity1 were initially treated with @entity230 . The study outcomes were: @entity479 responsiveness, prevalence of total remission, progression to @entity177 and need of renal replacement therapy due to @entity454 ( @entity454 ). RESULTS: Initial serum @entity1011 level was 24% higher among @entity1 with @entity15168 (p = 0.02), and @entity644 levels were 36% higher in @entity1987 (p < 0.001). @entity1 with @entity1987 were sensitive to @entity479 therapy in 80% of the cases, with total remission in 74%, while @entity1 with @entity15168 were sensitive in 58% (p = 0.01), with total remission in 30% (p = 0.002). @entity1 with @entity15168 had an @entity810 prevalence of 39% (vs. 12%, p = 0.013) and @entity454 of 10% (vs. 0%, p < 0.001). @entity479 responsiveness reduced in 83% the risk of @entity454 (p < 0.001), while total remission was associated to a reduction in risk of 89% (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: A positive response to @entity479 therapy was the most important factor related with preservation of renal function and @entity15168 was related with less @entity479 responsiveness.
