Genetic 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 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 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 Associated with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
We herein report a rare case of microscopic polyangiitis with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and a literature review of six previously reported cases of PBC complicated by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. Due to the scarcity of similar reports, it was not possible to establish a true overlap syndrome or casual association. When the biliary enzyme levels are elevated ...
متن کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody in Behçet’s Disease
Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is strongly associated with some vasculitic disorders. Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In this study, ANCA was found to be positive in 8 out of 66 patients (10.2%) with BD by combination testing consisting of immunofluorescence and ELISA [one patient showed an atypical pattern by indirect immunofloresence techique, ...
