A Case of Maintenance Prednisone in ANCA Glomerulonephritis

Infective endocarditis mimics ANCA associated glomerulonephritis

Background: Sub-acute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) rarely presents with features of a small vessel vasculitis. Patients with SBE can also develop multiple serological abnormalities including ANCA. In this report, we present a case of infective endocarditis mimicked ANCA associated glomerulonephritis.Case presentation: A 57-year old male with a clinical picture of rapidly progressive renal failu...

ANCA Glomerulonephritis and Vasculitis.

ANCA vasculitis has an associated autoimmune response that produces ANCAs that induce distinct pathologic lesions. Pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic GN is a frequent component of ANCA vasculitis. ANCA vasculitis is associated with ANCA specific for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) or proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA). A diagnosis of ANCA vasculitis should always specify the serotype as MPO-ANCA positive,...

ANCA Associated Glomerulonephritis- An In-Depth Review

Inflammation of vasculature involving small to medium vessels associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies or ANCA are collectively referred to as ANCA vasculitidis. In a majority of such disorders there are a few or no immune deposits and hence the term“pauci immune vasculitis”. The three main conditions included in this group include microscopic polyangiitis, Granulomatosis with poly...
