Vasculitis Syndromes Flashcards
Small vessels
Capillaries, arterioles, postcapillary venules
Medium vessels
Renal arteries, mesenteric vasculature, coronary arteries
Large vessels
Aorta and its proximal branches
ANCA association: cANCA
1) Wegener granulomatosis 2) Churg-Strauss
ANCA association: pANCA
1) Microscopic polyarteritis 2) Ulcerative colitis 3) Sclerosing cholangitis 4) Crohn disease %) Autoimmune hepatitis type 1
ANCA association: ANCA
Cystic fibrosis
Predominantly large vessel vasculitis
Takayasu arteritis
Predominantly medium vessel vasculitis
1) PAN 2) Kawasaki disease
Predominantly small vessel vasculitis
1) Granulomatosis with polyangiitis 2) Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis 3) Microscopic polyangiitis 4) HSP 5) Isolated cutaneous luekocytoclastic vasculitis 6) Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is aka
Wegener granulomatosis
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is aka
Churg-Strauss syndrome
HSP affects more males vs females
Males
Approx 90% of HSP cases occur in what age group
Children, usually between 3 and 10y/o
T/F HSP in adults present with more severe and chronic complications
T
Common finding in biopsy of HSP is deposition of IgA particularly
IgA1
Hallmark of HSP
Palpable purpura
Skin lesions of HSP are usually of what distribution
Symmetric and in gravity-dependent areas or pressure points
Skin lesions of HSP typically last for how long
3-10 days and may recur up to 4 months after initial presentation
Arthritis and arthralgias occur in ___% of children with HSP
75
Arthritis in HSP is usually
1) Oligoarticular 2) Predilection for lower extremities 3) Does not lead to deformities 4) Usually resolves in 2 weeks
GI manifestations of HSP occur in up to ___% of patients with HSP
80
Renal involvement occurs in up to ___% of children with HSP
50
HSP ACR classification criteria
2 of the ff must be present 1) Palpable purpura 2) Age at onset less than or equal to 20 y/o 3) Bowel angina (postprandial abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea) 4) Biopsy demonstrating intramural granulocytes in small arterioles and/or venules
HSP EULAR criteria
1 or more must be present 1) Abdominal pain 2) Arthiris or arthralgia 3) Biopsy of affected tissue demonstrating predominant IgA deposition 4) Renal involvement (proteinuria >3g/24hr), hematuria or red cell casts
An isolated cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis that affects infants <2 yr of age, that resembles HSP clinically
Acute hemorhhagic edema (AHE)
Distinguishes AHE from HSP
1) Younger age 2) Nature of the lesions 3) absence of other organ involvement 4) biopsy
