Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis developed from ANCA negative renal limited vasculitis
RATIONALE The relationship between antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and ANCA-negative vasculitis has not been elucidated. PATIENT CONCERNS A 64-year-old female with edema and proteinuria was admitted. A kidney biopsy indicated focal proliferative nephritis with crescents in 25% of glomeruli. Serum ANCA was negative. Eighteen months later, systemic sym...
متن کاملTreatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The primary idiopathic small-vessel vasculitis syndromes include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and microscopic polyangiitis. These disorders are commonly referred to as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides and prominently affect the pulmonary vasculature. Although significant progress has been made in the management of ...
متن کاملRenal transplantation in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide a state-of-the-art perspective on the role of kidney transplantation in cases of end-stage kidney disease due to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitis. We focus on patient and graft survival in recent years, timing of transplant, impact of ANCA status, and relapse of vasculitis in the allograft. RECENT FINDINGS Graft and patient ou...
متن کاملPerinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in an elderly woman.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis encompasses 3 conditions: eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; formerly named Churg-Strauss syndrome), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; formerly named Wegener granulomatosis), and microscopic polyangiitis.1 Diagnosing ANCA-associated small-vessel vasculitis is challenging for clinicians because of its infrequ...
متن کاملPeripheral CD5+ B cells in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
OBJECTIVE CD5+ B cells have been conceptualized as a possible surrogate for Breg cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the utility of CD5+ B cells as biomarkers in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). METHODS The absolute and relative numbers (percentages) of CD5+ B cells (explanatory variables) were measured longitudinally during 18 months in 197 pa...
