It turns out, that under the right conditions, carbonyl groups form on MPO. Hydralazine actually ATTACHES to these carbonyl groups, probably modifying the MPO conformation and inducing a neo-antigen, which eventually causes the formation of anti-MPO IgM!

Most SEs from steroids are longer term and cumulative, aside from infection. I don’t know of many folks that would rx a CNI first.

Steroid if it’s their first or second go, if frequently relapsing go next to CNI, then if breaking through CNI and prednisone it’s RTX

Do you have any particular concerns for steroid-related side effects? Or do you always chose steroids as first line?
