The effects of lowering LDL cholesterol with simvastatin plus ezetimibe in patients with chronic kidney disease (Study of Heart and Renal Protection): a randomised placebo-controlled trial

Journal ArticleDOI

Rituximab versus Cyclophosphamide in ANCA-Associated Renal Vasculitis

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In patients with generalized vasculitis, the withdrawal of cyclophosphamide and the substitution of azathioprine after remission did not increase the rate of relapse, suggesting the duration of exposure to cycloph phosphamide may be safely reduced.
