Because death after acute systemic vasculitis is now uncommon, alternative measures of outcome are required. A significant component of patient morbidity is disease-related damage, which can be quantified by the Vasculitis Damage Index (64 items in 11 organ-based systems). We investigated serially the time-course of damage in 120 patients with systemic vasculitis, to determine the earliest indi...
Background. Renal-limited myeloperoxidase vasculitis with simultaneous rheumatoid arthritis is reported as a rare occurrence. Review of literature suggests that most patients had a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis for several years prior to presenting with renal failure from myeloperoxidase vasculitis. Case Presentation. A 58-year-old Caucasian male presented to the hospital experiencing malai...
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a small-vessel and medium-vessel vasculitis that affects mainly the respiratory tract and kidney. The main acute complications of GPA are diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and acute renal failure. Renal involvement occurs in 17% of patients, with histological features of pauci-immune, focal, and segmental necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis.1 Diffuse a...
Background: Cutaneous vasculitis is defined as the inflammation of blood vessels of the dermis. However cutaneous vasculitis is not a specific disease but a manifestation that can be seen in a variety of settings. We sought to review the clinical manifestations, laboratorial findings, pathological changes and etiologic association of cutaneous vasculitis in patients admitted to Dermatology Depa...
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged healthcare systems and resulted in complex diagnostic processes for patients with non-COVID-19 pathology. Here, we demonstrate a case of massive alveolar haemorrhage secondary to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive vasculitis, presented district general hospital the UK during first wave global pandemic. This highlights some dif...
BACKGROUND The outcomes of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for acute manifestation of small-vessel vasculitis are poorly reported. The aim of the present study was to determine the mortality rate and prognostic factors of patients admitted to the ICU for acute small-vessel vasculitis. METHODS This retrospective, multicenter study was conducted from January 2001 to December ...
Inflammation of peripheral nerves may be due to autoimmune disease, infection or vasculitis. The nerve fibres are normally protected by a specialised endothelium, positive endoneurial pressure and perineurial barrier. Most cases of inflammatory neuropathy are characterised by endoneurial inflammation and primary demyelination without infection or vasculitis, and are thought to have an autoimmun...
CONTEXT Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis with prominent involvement of the respiratory tract and kidney. An association between acute pancreatitis and Wegener's granulomatosis is rarely reported and is even rarer as the first presentation. This can result in diagnostic difficulty and may allow severe pancreatitis to develop with potentially poor outcome. CASE REPORT We report...
Acute monocular visual loss is an alarming symptom for the patient and the emergency physician. This article focuses on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of several causes of acute monocular visual loss with suggestions for when to emergently involve an ophthalmologist. Topics discussed include temporal arteritis, optic neuritis, retinal artery occlusion, retinal vein occlusion, retin...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Renal biopsy in acute renal failure of unknown origin provides irreplaceable information for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This study analyzed the frequency and clinicopathologic correlations of renal native biopsied acute renal failure in Spain during the period 1994 through 2006. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Acute renal failure was defined a...
