The value of measuring ANCA during follow-up to predict a relapse is controversial. On the
basis of recently obtained pathophysiologic insights, we postulated that measuring ANCA is …

Objective The objective of our study is to investigate the Fc glycosylation profiles of both
antigen-specific IgG targeted against proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) and total IgG as prognostic …

Tools for evaluation of disease activity in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
(ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) include scoring clinical manifestations, determination …

Objective. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for a relapse at the time of
an increase in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in patients with renal ANCA-…

Purpose The objective of the study was to systematically assess aortic inflammation in
patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) using 18 F-2-deoxy-2-[ 18 F]fluoro-D-glucose …

Aims New strategies to overcome complications of cardiovascular diseases are needed.
Since it has been demonstrated that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, modulation of …

Introduction: Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA; formerly Wegener’s) and Microscopic
Polyangiitis (MPA) are inflammatory disease entities affecting small to medium vessels. They …

In 1954, when Godman and Churg reviewed 22 published cases with granulomatosis with
polyangiitis (GPA; previously Wegener granulomatosis), it was concluded that patients …
