Case Reports
A case report of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis and glomerular immune depositions.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic disease leading to renal complications of pauci-immune focal and segmental necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (PI-NCGN). ⋯ AAV might lead to immune complex deposition in kidneys due to different pathogenetic mechanisms like complement activation and immune complex formation, apart from losing tolerance to neutrophil proteins.
