Today, the most appropriate way to detect the presence of vasculitis-associated ANCA is by using immunofluorescence testing together with PR3-ANCA and MPO-ANCA ELISAs. The answer to problems ...

Systemic vasculitis is rare and the published data ... in 45% of microscopic polyangiitis patients; 45% have pANCA with MPO positivity pANCA is also found in Churg-Strauss syndrome Serial ...

Further investigations have shown that some patients developed dual-positive MPO- and PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis after receiving mRNA booster vaccinations. In these cases, researchers noted an ...

Pravastatin has never been shown to be associated with ANCA-associated drug-induced vasculitis. There has been one case reported of thiazide-induced ARF in association with ANCA with MPO specificity.

They're different from one type of vasculitis to another. So let's say, take for example, age can be a risk factor because there are some certain vasculitis that affect certain age type.

Although we have done a lot of work in vasculitis, we still have so many things to do and there's so many unmet needs in vasculitis. The most important is that from a patient perspective ...
