Welcome to the forum Eric,
When I was diagnosed with WG my kidneys were down to 25%. After the first four rituxan treatments my kidneys went to 50%. But I relapsed two weeks after stopping pred and ended up in the hospital. It was too soon to do a second round of rituxan so I was given pulse steroid treatments and had rituxan again 3 month after the first treatment. I am now being tapered off pred again but things are looking stable. My kidneys have not gotten worse. Don't give up hope on the kidneys. You might get back some function. In the event you don't I will pray that they find a new kidney for you.
Karen
