Comparing Circulating Protein Profiles in Patients with Active Myeloperoxidase (MPO) vs Proteinase-3 (PR3) Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: ANCA type (e.g., PR3-, MPO-ANCA) may be a better way to subgroup patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) than phenotype (e.g., granulomatosis with polyangiitis [GPA]).…Abstract Number: 2694 • ACR Convergence 2024
Associations Between Immune Checkpoint Molecules and Nasal Microbiome in ANCA-associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Among patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), several exhibit sinonasal involvement, especially in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). A recent…Abstract Number: 0730 • ACR Convergence 2024
Assessment of the Quality of Life in a Single-center Cohort of Patients with ANCA-Associated Vasculitis on Targeted Therapy: Characterization of Global, Disease and Organ-specific Parameters Using Patient Reported Outcomes
Background/Purpose: ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAVs) are characterized by severe and multisystemic manifestations that greatly affect patients' quality of life (QoL). The purpose of the study was…Abstract Number: 1596 • ACR Convergence 2024
Efficacy of Eosinophil-Targeting Therapies According to Disease Severity in Patients with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Background/Purpose: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by asthma, eosinophilia, and small-to-medium size vessel vasculitis, with individual manifestations widely ranging…Abstract Number: 1844 • ACR Convergence 2024
