Purpose: The aim of this study is to present the treatment modalities and associated side effects in a Polish nation-wide ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) patients' cohort.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with AAV between 1990 and 2016, included in the POLVAS registry was performed. Standard descriptive statistic methods were used with an emphasis on the treatment modalities.
Article Synopsis
- Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) target small blood vessels, primarily affecting the kidneys and leading to severe kidney issues like glomerulonephritis.
- Various treatment methods such as cyclophosphamide, rituximab, and plasma exchange are discussed for achieving remission and managing cases that relapse or resist standard treatments.
- The review highlights risk factors for disease complications, impacts on quality of life, and introduces new possible treatments that could improve patient outcomes and longevity.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are a group of pauci-immune small vessel vasculitides that often affect the kidneys manifesting as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Although the exact pathogenesis of AAV is not fully known, evidence from in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies all point to the involvement of ANCA in the pathogenesis of AAV. In this review, we highlight the contributory roles played by various factors (e.

Arterial baroreceptors are stretch-sensitive receptors, which in a reflex manner are involved in the homeostatic control of arterial blood pressure. Diabetic subjects have depressed baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), although the exact pathomechanisms are unclear.
