We describe a 75-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with generalized weakness and was ultimately diagnosed with acute renal failure secondary to pauci-immune necrotizing antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.

The case highlights the challenges of this rare vasculitis and the complications that can arise from the disease and its treatment. .
