A Case Report Describing a Rare Presentation of Simultaneous Occurrence of MPO-ANCA-Associated Vasculitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background. Renal-limited myeloperoxidase vasculitis with simultaneous rheumatoid arthritis is reported as a rare occurrence. Review of literature suggests that most patients had a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis for several years prior to presenting with renal failure from myeloperoxidase vasculitis. Case Presentation. A 58-year-old Caucasian male presented to the hospital experiencing malai...
متن کاملCathelicidin antimicrobial peptide as a serologic marker and potential pathogenic factor in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are associated with pauci-immune small-vessel vasculitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Cathelicidin LL37 is the human member of a family of antimicrobial peptides that are released from activated neutrophils and monocytes at sites of acute inflammation. Zhang and colleagues evaluated serum levels of cathelicidin LL37 and interferon-alpha in patients wi...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis with membranous nephropathy in remission.
A 47-year-old woman developed pulmonary hemorrhage and an increase in proteinuria during remission of membranous nephropathy. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis. She also had a high perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody level, so a diagnosis of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis was made. After immunosuppressive therapy w...
متن کاملNecrotizing and crescentic lupus nephritis with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody seropositivity.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lupus nephritis is a classic immune complex glomerulonephritis. In contrast, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are associated with necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis, in the absence of significant immune deposits. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are detected by indirect immunofluorescence in 20% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. We rep...
متن کاملAn unusual presentation of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis: discrepancy between histopathology and clinical presentation.
A 60-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with dyspnea, hemoptesis, anuria, nephritic syndrome, and a positive myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody titer. He was diagnosed with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis due to Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, or drug induction. Unexpectedly, histopathologic examination of the kidney biopsy speci...
