Markers for work disability in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
OBJECTIVES ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) commonly affects those of working age. Since survival rates have been transformed by immunotherapeutics, the measurement of other outcomes has become increasingly relevant. Work disability is an important outcome for both patient and society that has yet to be fully evaluated in AAV. We aimed to assess employment status in AAV patients and identify pu...
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 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 کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis, Large Vessel Vasculitis and Kawasaki Disease in Japan
Based on studies comparing the prevalence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) between Japan and Europe, we have learned that the difference may be due to genetic background and environmental factors, but not to diagnosis or ELISA system for myeloperoxidase and proteinase-3 ANCA. In Japan, microscopic polyangiitis is the most common among AAV, but Wegener’s...
