ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
A group of necrotizing, small-vessel vasculitis without immune complex deposition. Complement levels are normal due to the lack of immune deposits. Includes granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulonatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).
- C-ANCA pattern (usually associated with PR3+ antibody)
- P-ANCA pattern (usually associated with MPO+ antibody)
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis - 80-90% PR3+
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis without renal involvement - PR3>MPO
Microscopic polyangiitis - MPO>PR3
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis - MPO>PR3
Renal-limited - MPO+ about 75-90%, rarely PR3
Anti-GBM disease - MPO>PR3
Levamisole-induced vasculitis - MPO+ almost 100%, PR3+ 50%, frequently double+
Hydralazine-induced ANCA vasculitis - MPO > PR3
