The spectrum of renal disease associated with microscopic polyangiitis and classic polyarteritis nodosa in Kuwait.
This study was conducted to examine prospectively the epidemiological profile of renal disease associated with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and classic polyarteritis nodosa (classic PAN) in Kuwait and its clinicopathological correlation. ⋯ These findings emphasize the limited role of clinical assessment in establishing a definite diagnosis of renal vasculitis and put in question its value in retrospective analysis of causes of ESRD in different populations.
