Abstract
Scleroderma Renal Crisis (SRC) is the most common cause of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in scleroderma and occurs early during the disease course while ANCA Associated Vasculitis (AAV) is a rare cause of acute kidney injury occurring late in the disease course. We report a case of AKI with positive PR3 ANCA serology late in the disease course with a renal biopsy revealing findings of SRC.
