Epidemiological changes in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease in Madrid in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

Improved renal survival appears linked to earlier diagnosis and management, rather than changes in environmental exposure. These findings highlight the importance of heightened clinical awareness for early detection and treatment of this aggressive disease.
