[Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitides].
The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides are a group of uncommon diseases characterised by inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis of blood vessel walls. ANCA there has been considerable progress towards understanding their pathogenesis. This results in endothelial activation with increased transmigration and adherence of neutrophils to vessel walls. Specific ...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody pathogenicity revisited: pathogenic versus non-pathogenic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3). No clear consensus has been reached on the pathogenicity of these autoantibodies. Animal models for MPO-ANCA, in vitro data suggesting pathogenicity of ANCA, and one case of a neonate showing symptoms of vasculitis after tra...
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% ...
متن کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis in Mexican Population: Clinical Phenotype, Autoantibody Profile and Renal Characteristics
Objective: To describe the clinical, serological characteristics, and renal histology in Mexican patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: Forty patients with diagnosis of AAV and renal biopsy, followed at a tertiary care center in Mexico City from 2002-2012 were retrospectively studied. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical, laboratory varia...
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...
