Materials and Methods: This study included 247 patients with MPA and GPA. The CALLY index was calculated as follows: serum albumin (g\/L) \u00d7 lymphocyte count (\/mm3)\/CRP (mg\/L)\/10,000. The earliest CALLY index was defined as the value calculated at diagnosis. ESKD, which occurred after diagnosis, was defined as a poor outcome in this study. Results: The median age of the 247 patients was 62.0 years and 64.4% were women. Among the 247 patients, 50 (20.2%) progressed to ESKD. The earliest CALLY index at diagnosis was significantly lower in patients with ESKD than those without ESKD (0.15 vs. 0.55). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the earliest CALLY index had modest discriminatory performance for progression to ESKD, with an area under the curve of 0.663 and a cut-off value of 0.26. Patients with an earliest CALLY index \u2264 0.26 at diagnosis exhibited a significantly higher risk for progression to ESKD (relative risk 3.174) and a significantly reduced cumulative ESKD-free survival rate compared to those with an earliest CALLY index &gt; 0.26 at diagnosis. Conclusions: This study has exploratory implications, as it is the first to report that the earliest CALLY index was associated with ESKD occurrence during follow-up in patients with MPA and GPA, despite its limited value as an independent predictor of ESKD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina62071379","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T00:47:32Z","timestamp":1784508452000},"page":"1379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association Between the Earliest CALLY Index at Diagnosis and Progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease in Patients with Microscopic Polyangiitis and Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1633-9131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Han Gyeol","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3307-5215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jang Woo","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Yongin Severance Hospital, Yongin 16995, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7962-3697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oh Chan","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Seoul 06273, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4735-6502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jihye","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4695-8620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong-Beom","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Institute for Immunology and Immunological Diseases, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8038-3341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Institute for Immunology and Immunological Diseases, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/art.37715","article-title":"2012 revised International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides","volume":"65","author":"Jennette","year":"2013","journal-title":"Arthritis Rheum."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"222","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2006.054593","article-title":"Development and validation of a consensus methodology for the classification of the ANCA-associated vasculitides and polyarteritis nodosa for epidemiological studies","volume":"66","author":"Watts","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann.
