Risks of treatments and long-term outcomes of systemic ANCA-associated vasculitis

Oliver Flossmann. Presse Med. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) have an increased risk of premature death and organ failure. Treatment strategies with immune-suppressive drugs need to balance disease control and prevention of relapse against the risk of side effects in particular infection and malignancy. The longer-term outcome of patients with AAV who participated in several randomised controlled trials has been published in recent years. The results of these and other newer studies will be the focus of this review.
