Classification of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2013
Classification of the ANCA-associated vasculitides remains controversial. Existing systems, developed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1990, the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference (CHCC) in 1994 and updated in 2012, and the European Medicines Agency algorithm, all have deficiencies, especially when applied to unselected patients.

ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV): a review for internists

Postgraduate medicine, 2022
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) compromise a rare group of necrotizing small to medium vessel vasculitides that constitute three distinct disorders: granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (formerly known as Wegener’

ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

2009
The majority of patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) have antineu-trophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in their serum. This is particularly true of patients with "disseminated" disease, the great majority of whom are ANCA positive.

ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Advances in Kidney Disease and Health
ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a necrotizing, small-to-medium vessel vasculitis associated with significant morbidity and mortality. AAV is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting kidneys, eyes, sinuses, peripheral nerves, skin, and upper and lower respiratory tracts.

Epidemiology of ANCA-associated Vasculitis

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2010
The epidemiology of the antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), comprising Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, and Churg-Strauss syndrome, poses considerable challenges to epidemiologists. These challenges include the difficulty of defining a case with a lack of clear distinction between the different ...

Drug- and vaccine induced ANCA-associated vasculitis: An overview.

Autoimmunity Reviews
Many different drugs and/or vaccines may cause vasculitis which can be sometimes very severe. The clinical presentation varies from isolated skin vasculitis to multi-organ involvement with pulmonary-renal manifestations and/or cerebral vasculitis ...

Pathogenesis of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2012
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are a group of systemic vasculitis syndromes characterized by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessel walls. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors contribute to the etiology and pathogenesis of AAV.
