<p>A 78-year-old man presented with hypercalcemia and renal disease with high serum IgG4 and positive myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA), exhibiting sarcoidosis-like chest findings. A renal biopsy revealed tubulointerstitial nephritis, membranous nephropathy (MN), and sub-capsular lymphoid aggregates without fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of IgG4-related disease or sarcoidosis. Steroid therapy ameliorated the serological and renal abnormalities. After 5 years, following gradual increases in the neutrophil count and upper respiratory infection (URI), necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) developed with an increased serum MPO-ANCA level. These results suggest that in the presence of MPO-ANCA in immune senescence, the persistent neutrophil increase with URI may lead to the development of NCGN. </p>
