Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis presenting with bilateral renal vein thrombosis
We report a case of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis presenting with bilateral renal vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in a patient who also had a lupus anticoagulant and anti-cardiolipin antibodies. Although the link between venous thrombosis and ANCA vasculitis is well established, the coexistence of renal vein thrombosis is u...
متن کاملGenetic aspects of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
The genetics of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex area of investigation because of the low frequency of AAVs, the rarity of familial cases and the complexity of disease phenotypes. However, recent studies have been able to gather significant numbers of patients, and multicentre collaborative efforts have allowed the performance of two genome-wi...
متن کامل[Treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody related vasculitis].
ANCA-associated vasculitides are a well-known clinico-pathological group of systemic diseases comprising microscopic poliangiitis, granulomatosis with poliangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with poliangiitis. This article shows contemporary treatment of this diseases with extensive literature review. Stepwise treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitides is divided into induction therapy and ...
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 کاملRenal involvement in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody associated vasculitis.
Renal involvement is a common and often severe complication of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides (AAV). With the exception of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), where kidney involvement is not a prominent feature, renal disease is present in about 70% of patients with Wegener's granulomatosis, now called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and in almost 100% ...
