Clinical Advances in

ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a potentially fatal autoimmune condition characterized by damage to, and inflammation of, small blood vessels commonly in the kidneys, respiratory tract or the skin. Current treatment for AAV consists of various therapies that have not been studied in placebo-controlled trials. Novel agents targeting Complement 5a have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of AAV. The aim of this curriculum is to educate clinicians on the most recent advances in the management of patients with AAV.
