- Abstract
This document summarizes a study on the use of rituximab (RTX) as a treatment for anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody disease. The study found that adding RTX to conventional therapy may lead to improved outcomes for patients with this rare vasculitis. However, the study had limitations, such as its small size and retrospective design, so further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of RTX in treating anti-GBM antibody disease.
