Azathioprine-induced interstitial nephritis in an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) myeloperoxidase (MPO) vasculitis patient
Azathioprine (AZA) is used in a wide array of autoimmune diseases, still corresponding to the mainstay maintenance therapy in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides. Although generally well-tolerated, several side effects are recognized. We report the case of a 50-yearold Caucasian man with kidney-limited ANCA myeloperoxidase (MPO) vasculitis who presented with gene...
متن کاملA case of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis and concurrent membranous nephropathy
BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) and concurrent membranous nephropathy (MN) are very rare combination. Their causal relationship has been suggested, but not determined. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-years-old male with 5-year history of proteinuria underwent an operation for his sigmoid colon cancer. Seven months later, he wa...
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 کاملClinical outcomes of treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis based on ANCA type.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the classification of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) according to ANCA type (anti-proteinase 3 (PR3) or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibodies) predicts treatment response. METHODS Treatment responses were assessed among patients enrolled in the Rituximab in ANCA-associated Vasculitis trial according to both A...
