Identifying persistent or relapsing disease in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody- associated vasculitis (AAV) remains a clinical challenge with an unmet need for reliable biomarker of multisystem disease. In this study, we confirm the first time that Raman spectroscopy offers novel cost-effective candidate to discriminate active from remission AAV excellent accuracy. Spectrochemical inte...
