Chief Complaint: altered mental status
and worsening edema
HPI: 82yo AA woman with the usual PMHx problems of uncontrolled
HTN, hyperlipidemia presents when family notes confusion for 2
weeks. Increasing. Refuses to leave apartment for past 6 weeks,
keep rearranging furniture and using umbrella indoors.
Increasing swelling in LE bilaterally, family has noted more in the past 2
weeks and does not think was there earlier. No leg pain
Decreased appetite, only walks around apartment now used to home
shopping a little with family. No urinary changes she notes.
Slightly hard of hearing
No chest pain, SOA. Vision fine except known cataracts. Denies
weakness, F/C, fatigue, night sweats. No diarrhea, vomiting.

Chest X-ray
1. No focal airspace disease.
2. Remote granulomatous
disease.
3. Borderline cardiomegaly.
4. Prominence of the
ascending aorta which may
be seen in aortic valvular
disease.

U/S renal with dopplers
• Impression:
• 1. Right complex renal cyst with an internal nodule vs
septation. Recommend triple phase CT renal imaging.
• 2. Left simple renal cyst.
• 3. Aortic aneurysm measuring 3.4 cm in greatest caliber
below the level of the renal arteries.
• 4. Aortic atherosclerosis.
• Doppler • This study shows no evidence for renal artery stenosis
bilaterally. There is evidence for small 3-cm abdominal aortic
aneurysm. Further clinical correlation is recommended.

CT studies
CT headCHRONIC CHANGES OF PERIPHERAL
CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE ONLY. NO FINDINGS OF
AN ACUTE CEREBROVASCULAR EVENT.
CT chest without contrast
1. Mild aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic arch.
2. Atheromatous changes of the aorta.
3. Granulomatous calcifications.
Z A CD
2-D Echocardiogram
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Severely dilated left atrium by LA volume index
calculation.
2. Mild aortic valve sclerosis.
3. Overall left ventricular ejection fraction is estimated at
65%.
4. Mild tricuspid regurgitation.
5. Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction.
6. Mildly elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Z A CD
MAG scan
• Impression:
• 1. Normal bilateral renal perfusion.
• 2. Diminished renal washout bilaterally suggesting a
mild degree of obstruction and associated
diminished renal function (given the intermediate
T1/2 max values of less than 20).

Clinical Course
• ARF, FeNa 1.8, wnl U/S except cysts, MAG scan
with decreased renal fxn
• uremia
• Elevated inflammatory markers – vasculitis?
• Renal biopsy not done due to family wishes and
question of patient to tolerate procedure.
• Serology shows a microscopic polyangiitis

Overview of vasculitis
Classification

Diagnosis
Treatment
MKSAP Q?
Z A CD
Vasculitis - definition
• presence of inflammatory leukocytes in vessel walls
leading to damage
•Mechanics still unknown
•Primary or secondary to another disease process
•Treatment in acute phase important because early deaths
are due to active disease, but later deaths may be due to
treatment complications.
Z A CD
Classification
• Classically by affect vessel size… but a lot of
overlap
•Large – Takayasu (aorta and branches) and
giant cell (medium as well)
• Medium – polyarteritis nodosa (med and small),
Kawasaski (all sizes with mucocutaneous
involvement), primary CNS vasculitis (med and
small without extracranial vessels)
Z A CD
Classification
• Small –
– Churg-Strauss (lung and skin muscular arteries),
– Wegener granulomatosis (sm and med of lung and
necrotizing pauci immune glomerulonephritis in kidneys)
– microscopic polyarteritis/polyangiitis (like WG spectrum)
– Henoch-Schonlein purpura (tissue deposition of IgA
immune complex)
– Hypersensitivity vasculitis – like above, but no IgA
– Essential cryoglobulinemic vasculitis
Z A CD
More!
• Vasculitis due to connective tissue d/o and some
others due to viral infection
• Lots of overlap, this criteria last updated by Am
College of Rheumatology in 1990, based on
prospective data from the 1980s and only help
distinguish from other vasculitides.
• Since the new ANCA testing in 1982, new
classification may consider ANCA positive vs
negative
Z A CD
Diagnosis
• Hard to diagnosis
• Suspect in systemic symptoms, or if can be
associated in patient’s other diseases
• “mononeuritis multiplex” or asymmetric
polyneuropathy… also seen in diabetes
• Palpable purpura – HSP, MPA
• Pulmonary-renal involvement

Patient History and past medical
Other blood work
ANA
Complement
ANCA
EMG
Biopsy
False positives
• Sometimes reported in rheumatic inflammatory
disease, but these were before MPO and PR3
testing
• ANCA, typically p type, in UC, but NOT Crohn’s
• Also in primary sclerosis cholangitis
• Cystic fibrosis patients with lung disease, but non
MPO
Z A CD
ANCA??
• Include WG, MPA, renal limited vasculitis, Churg
Strauss.
• The ACR criteria for WG/MPA – did not differentiate
between these 2
– Nasal or oral inflammation
– Abnormal CXR with nodules, cavities, or fixed infiltrates
– Abnormal urine sediment (microscopic hematuria +/- rbc
casts)
– Granulomatous inflammation on biopsy of an artery
• Two or more 88% sens, and 92% spec
Z A CD
Other classification
• Chapel Hill Consensus - Defines disease, but no
classification and NOT diagnostic, ANCA is not
included
• European Medicines Agency algorithm – must
exclude Churg Strauss and WG
• Classify by??? --- MP0 ANCA, PR3 ANCA, and
seroneg ANCA
• One study suggests specificity of antibodies to
PR3/MPO as high as 98.4%!
Z A CD
Not bad, but could be better
Z A CD
Labs
• ANCA are directed against the granular and
lysosomal parts of neutrophils and monocytes
• IIF (indirect immunofluor) stain or enzyme linked
immunosorbent assay in a cytoplasmic or
perinuclear pattern
• Target of cANCA is proteinase-3 and pANCA is
myeloperoxidase
Z A CD
ANCA Associated Vasculitis
• Genetic factors on HLA genes of chr6
• Silica – bad stuff. From 22-46% of AAV have had
exposure. Brings immune response and
inflammatory reactions
• Bacterial infection – S. aureus
• Drugs – also bad – PTU (most common),
hydralazine, D-penicillamine, and minocycline.
Z A CD
Microscopic Polyangiitis
• Originally described in a case series as a type of
polyarteritis nodosa with RPGN (rapidly necrotizing
glomerulonephritis) and sometimes lung
hemorrhage – but has capillary, venule, or arterioles
involvement
• Male slightly > female
• Avg age of onset > 50 yo
• General symptoms may occur months to years
before acute phase.
Z A CD
Treatment
• If don’t treat, prognosis is bad
• Corticosteroids with cyclophosphamide – up to 90%
go into remission
• But… Cytoxan long term use side effects –
secondary infections, bone marrow suppresion,
hemorrhagic cystitis, and bladder cancer.
• Recommend prophylactic TMP-SMX for PJP
• Other trials looking at MTX, rituximab, plasma
exchange, etanercept, mycophenolate mofetil,
azathioprine
Z A CD
Treatment – may base on severity

Question of the Day
• 53 yo man with 6 wk hx of fatigue, fever, numbness and tingling in
the hands and feet, mild abd pain, and a nodular rash on the
hands, arms, and legs. Weight lost 9.0 lb.
