The ANCA score predicts the end stage renal disease (ESRD) probability in patients with ANCA vasculitis. The three essential input data are: 1. number of normal glomeruli, 2. amount of tubular atrophy and fibrosis and 3. estimated glomerular filtration rate at time of diagnosis. The calculated app output is based on a clinical trial (published in Kidney International 2018).

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ANCA Score at none against Patient Thread's 2. ANCA Score also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Patient Thread's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
