Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Screening and primary cardiovascular prevention may improve outcomes.
Methods: We identified patients in the 2002-2019 Mass General Brigham AAV cohort with thoracic CT scans obtained for other clinical purposes.

Objectives: Patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) face excess mortality compared with the general population. Mortality in clinical epidemiology research is often examined using death certificate diagnosis codes; however, the sensitivity of such codes in AAV is unknown.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Mass General Brigham AAV Cohort, including patients with AAV who died between 2002 and 2019.

Background: Heredity and epigenetics affect the pathogenesis of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) polymorphisms (rs2304256C > A, rs280519A > G, and rs12720270G > A) may be potential protective factors against anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Current research suggests that TYK2 is associated with various autoimmune diseases; however, no study has examined the relationship between TYK2 polymorphisms and AAV.

Objective This study aims to investigate the frequency of restless leg syndrome (RLS) and neuropathic pain (NeP) and their effects on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods The study included 30 patients with AAV and 30 healthy volunteers. Demographic and clinical parameters and laboratory data were recorded.

Therapeutic plasma exchange (PLEX) is an adjunctive treatment for patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and kidney involvement. Little is known about the effect of PLEX on early changes in kidney function. This post-hoc analysis of the PEXIVAS trial investigated the effects of PLEX on changes in kidney function within 12 months.
