The First Sign of AAV May Sometimes Be Ocular Changes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eye inflammation might be the initial presentation of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), according to a study preprint published in Medical Principles and Practice. “Because the eye is one of the few organs in which vascular inflammation may be directly observed, ophthalmological examination may provide valuable diagnostic information in patients with systemic vasculitis . . . Early recognition of ocular findings may therefore facilitate timely diagnosis and
Rituximab Similar to Cyclophosphamide in AAV With Kidney Involvement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A combination of rituximab and corticosteroids may yield comparable remission and kidney recovery as treatment with cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and severe kidney involvement, according to a study published in Clinical Kidney Journal. Evidence supporting the use of rituximab in patients with particularly severe kidney disease is limited. The RAVE trial (NCT00104299) excluded patients with serum creati
Kidney Complement Gene Expression Linked to Outcomes in AAV (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kidney complement-related gene expression may provide valuable prognostic information that routine blood tests and biopsy staining fail to capture in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN), according to a study preprint published in Kidney International Reports. “Over the past [2] decades, the complement system has emerged as a key amplifier of ANCA-mediated inflammation, with a central role for the alternative pathwa
Post-PLEX LDH/Lymphocyte Ratio Signals Mortality Risk in AAV (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Post-plasma exchange (PLEX) values of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein (CRP) may pinpoint patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) at high risk of in-hospital mortality, according to a study published in Medicine. PLEX, a procedure to remove circulating antibodies and inflammatory substances from the patient’s blood, is sometimes used in severe cases of AAV. Still, evidence concerning its benefits remains mixed. T
Pulmonary Involvement in AAV May Have Specific Clinical Patterns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), the development of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with older age, male gender, and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA positivity, while diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) may be linked to a pulmonary-renal pattern, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology. The development of ILD or DAH in AAV is associated with poor outcomes. Researchers attempted to id
