Two Cases of Proteinase 3-Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (PR3-ANCA)-related Nephritis in Infectious Endocarditis
We herein report two cases of proteinase 3-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA)-related nephritis in infectious endocarditis. In both cases, the patients were middle-aged men with proteinuria and hematuria, hypoalbuminemia, decreased kidney function, anemia, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and PR3-ANCA positivity. Each had bacteremia, due to Enterococcus faecium in one and ...
متن کاملA case of proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA) positive/IgG4-related lung disease
IgG4-related lung disease (IgG4-RLD) is a rare and chronic progressive autoimmune disease. We report a case of IgG4-related inflammatory pseudo-tumor of the lung that was seropositive for proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA). A 61-year-old male had a mass lesion in the right lower lung field in chest X-ray. Transbronchial lung biopsy resulted in a pathological diagnosis ...
متن کاملThe binding of proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (PR3-ANCA) varies in different ELISAs.
BACKGROUND The demonstration of proteinase 3 specific antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (PR3-ANCA), and the estimation of antibody values are useful in the diagnosis and management of patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). However, external quality assessment programmes suggest that PR3-ANCA binding varies in different assays. AIM To demonstrate variations in PR3-ANCA binding in dif...
متن کاملCrescentic glomerulonephritis with dual positive anti-GBM and C-ANCA/PR3 antibodies
Antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies are more often accompanied by myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) than by proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA). Both disease processes can affect the kidneys and/or the lungs. Patients with dual positive disease may have an atypical presentation which may delay diagnosis and treatment. Here ...
