ANCA and Anti GBM antibody disease Flashcards
what are the pulmonary renal syndrome and what are the 2 subtypes
development of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis
- ANCA-associated vasculitis
- Anti-GBM disease (goodpasture disease)
what is a cardiorenal syndrome?
Development of renal failure in setting of acute or chronic heart failure
-there are 5 types
what is a hepatorenal syndrome?
Development of renal failure in the setting of cirrhosis (portal hypertension)
-type 1 and 2
what are the three ANCA-Associated small vessel vasculitis
Microscopic polyangitis
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Eosinophillic granulamatosis with polyangiitis
what are immune complex small vessel vasculitis
Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis
IgA vasculitis (henoch-schonlen)
Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis
what does ANCA stand for and what are the two types
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
- PR3 causes C-ANCA
- MPO causes P-ANCA
characteristics of Granuomatosis with polyangitis?
necrotizing vasculitis with necrotizing granulomas affecting respiratory tract (upper or lower) with no asthma symptoms or eosiophilla
associated with PR3-ANCA (c-ANCA)
characteristics of Microscopic polyangiitis?
Nectorizing vasculitis without granulomas r asthma symptoms or eosinophilia
associated with MPO-antibody
Characteristics of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
necrotizing vasculitis with necrotizing granulomas affecting respiratory tract (upper and lower) with asthma symptoms and eosinophila
typically associated with MPO antibody
PR3-ANCA vs MPO-ANCA which one has higher relapse rates, which has higher mortality rates?
PR3-ANCA disease has a higher relapse rate
MPO-ANCA disease has a higher mortality rate
Epidemiology of ANCA associated Vasculitis
AAV more common in men and Caucasians and asians than African americans
GPA more common in North America and australia
MPA more common in southern Europe and asia
Major clinical manifestations of ANCA associated vasculitis
Constitutional symptoms:
-fever, malaise, anorexia, weight loss, myalgias, and migratory arthralgias
ENT manifestations
Pulmonary cough, dyspnea and hemoptysis
Skin: palpable purpura
Renal: hematuria, proteinuria, and renal failure
Neurologic:
-Mononeuritis multiplex
what vasculitis is ENT symptoms more common
GPA: Granuomatosis with polyangitis
what is palpable purpura suggestive of
what is non-palapable purpura suggestive of
Palpable purpura: raised non blanching erythematous lesion suggestive of vasculitis
Non-palpable purpura is a non blanching erythematous lesion usually from simple hemorrhage in skin suggestive of thrombocytopenia
what do you need for a definitive diagnosis of ANCA associated vasculitis
Definitive diagnosis requires a biopsy
ANCA testing
Anti GBM antibody testing
