Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) are associated with and probably cause pauci-immune systemic necrotizing small-vessel vasculitis and glomerulonephritis ANCAs specific for ...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) refers to a group of potentially life-threatening autoimmune diseases. A recent development in this field is the recognition ...

An antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) test is a blood test that checks for proteins your immune system makes to fight germs. This test can help your doctor diagnose autoimmune diseases ...

The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitides include several closely related, often severe, multisystem autoimmune diseases characterized by antibodies against serine proteinase 3 ...

The primary systemic vasculitides usually associated with autoantibodies to neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens include Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis. We investigated whether ...

Introduction: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by the presence of proteinase-3 (PR3) or myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA. In over 90% of cases, ...

Assessing the magnitude of smoking exposure as a susceptibility or prognostic factor can be challenging due to various reasons, including long latency periods, several confounding variables, dosage, ...

Cyclophosphamide and glucocorticoids have been the cornerstone of remission-induction therapy for severe antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)−associated vasculitis for 40 years.

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Positive Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common ...

Mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) was as effective as cyclophosphamide for remission induction in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, Japanese researchers reported.
