This volume, written by well-known experts in the field, covers all
aspects of Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) Associated
Vasculitis (AAV). The expression refers to a group of diseases,
characterized by destruction and inflammation of small vessels. The
clinical signs vary and affect several organs, such as the kidney,
lung, skin, nervous system and others. The opening chapters give
some historical hints, explain the genetic basis of the disease and
provide insights into the pathogenesis derived from recent
experimental studies and guides the reader through classification
and nomenclature. A large part of the book is then devoted to a
detailed description of the specific related diseases and their
clinical presentations, the disease course, and potential
complications. The advice regarding treatment is based on the best
currently available evidence in this constantly evolving area. The
book is part of Springer's series Rare Diseases of the Immune
System, which presents recently acquired knowledge on pathogenesis,
diagnosis, and therapy with the aim of promoting a more holistic
approach to these conditions. AAVs are systemic autoimmune diseases
of unknown cause that affect small (to medium) sized blood vessels.
They include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's
granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic
granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome).
This volume will be an invaluable source of up-to-date information
for all practitioners involved in the care of patients with these
diseases.
