Comparative Analysis Between ANCA-associated Interstitial Lung Disease and Interstitial Pneumonitis with Autoimmune Features
Background/Purpose: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have been identified in patients who have pneumonia without a diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). These patients are presently categorized…Abstract Number: 1682 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Inpatient Epidemiology of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis in the United States
Background/Purpose: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly known and Wegener’s granulomatosis) is a major subtype of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis characterized by granulomatous inflammation of…Abstract Number: 2787 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Predictors of Renal Involvement in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Renal involvement in the context of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is associated with significant morbidity and higher mortality rates. This study examined…Abstract Number: 966 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Minimal Residual Autoimmunity After Rituximab in ANCA-associated Vasculitis Patients
Background/Purpose: Background: B-cell depletion with rituximab (RTX) is an effective treatment for ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients. Repeated RTX upon B-cell repopulation or return of ANCAs…Abstract Number: 1704 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Efficacy of Leflunomide for Treatment of Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Only a few small case series, case reports, and one small clinical trial suggested some benefit of leflunomide (LEF) in ANCA-associated vasculitis and other…Abstract Number: 970 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
New-onset ANCA-associated Vasculitis Is Associated with Significant Phenotypic B Cell Dysfunction
Background/Purpose: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by the production of auto-antibodies and can be treated with rituximab, a B cell-depleting agent. Despite this, limited data…Abstract Number: 1955 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Association of TERT and DSP Polymorphisms with Susceptibility to Myeloperoxidase-ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Epidemiology of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is substantially different between East Asian and European populations. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and MPO-ANCA positive AAV (MPO-AAV) are prevalent…Abstract Number: 1661 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Circulating Cell Free DNA Released from Eosinophils Is a Practical Biomarker in Patients with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Background/Purpose: Fragmented cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released into blood circulation as results of damage or death of peripheral blood cells as well as organ tissues,…Abstract Number: 2621 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Association Between Outcome Renal, Clinical Variables and Findings of Renal Biopsy in Patients with ANCA Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: In associated ANCA vasculitis (AAV), rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (GN) is one of the most serious complications. In 40% of cases they progress to chronic…Abstract Number: 1662 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Does PR3-ANCA+ Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Churg–Strauss)Really Exist?
Background/Purpose: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (Churg–Strauss) is a small-vessel necrotizing vasculitis characterized by blood and tissue eosinophilia and asthma. Only a third of EGPA…Abstract Number: 2625 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Predictors of Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with ANCA Vasculitis and Renal Involvement
Background/Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictors of advanced chronic kidney disease (ACKD) in patients with Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis…
