Microscopic Polyangiitis Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Avacopan Anca Associated Vasculitis

Description

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is characterized by a small to medium-size vasculitis and the presence of ANCA. ANCA-associated vasculitis includes microscopic polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. ANCA-associated vasculitis can be a life-threatening disease and the mortality is 80% at 1 year in untreated patients. In 2010s, standard therapies for remission induction of ANCA-associated vasculitis were the combination of high-dose glucocorticoids and either cyclophosphamide or rituximab. Although thos...
