Objective: To assess the prevalence of ANCAs and anti-CL Ab as well as their correlations with clinical manifestations in Iranian patients with BD. Methods: In this case/control study, th...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis: where to go?
Enormous progress has been made during the last 25 years in our understanding of the aetiopathogenesis of the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV). This has led to improvements in early diagnosis, treatment and secondary prevention of these diseases. Nevertheless, there are still unmet needs in the AAV. With respect to diagnosis and follow-up, sensitive ...
متن کاملOrganizing pneumonia associated with myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody
Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions, but there are few reports about myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated OP. We describe a patient with OP whose clinical conditions improved spontaneously. Moreover, serum MPO-ANCA titers paralleled the clinical activity of the diseas...
متن کاملTubulointerstitial nephritis with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody following indomethacin treatment.
Sir, Tubulointerstitial diseases including tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) have an impact on overall renal function and eventual prognosis of renal diseases [1]. However, the detailed pathogenesis of human TIN has not been fully studied. Renal involvement in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated diseases shows mainly glomerular lesion, especially necrotizing crescentic glome...
