Abstract Crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a rapidly progressive renal condition marked by crescent formation in the glomeruli, often resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if not promptly addressed. This case report examines a 54-year-old female with a sudden onset of generalized edema and reduced urine output, which led to her hospitalization. Laboratory evaluations revealed acute renal failure with markedly elevated serum creatinine levels. Despite a background of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, her management was complicated by inconsistent adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Notably, severe hypertension exacerbated her renal impairment, necessitating immediate intervention. The clinical progression of CGN highlights the critical importance of early diagnosis, continuous monitoring, and a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Emphasizing patient education and lifestyle modifications, particularly in dietary habits and blood pressure control, can significantly influence treatment outcomes. This case illustrates the urgency of addressing CGN and the necessity of a collaborative healthcare strategy to improve prognosis and enhance the patient's quality of life.
