Even though I've not had either a kidney or lung biopsy, I agree with the others that you should have the kidney biopsy. Left alone, the disease will not go away.
Rituxin is a great drug. Properly administered, it should get you on the way to remission within a couple of months. The solumedrol and Benadryl that are given with it should keep any allergic reactions at bay. They also start the infusion itself at a very slow rate to check for allergic reactions. The only side effect I had was slight fatigue the day after.
Don't quit fighting this damned disease!!
