The patient was positive for anti-MPO and anti-SCL/70. Immunosuppressive therapy was effective to treat the pulmonary condition, but chronic renal failure emerged. The clinical condition did not improve after plasmapheresis, thus chronic dialysis was required. | | Language | ita | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
