*This can occur in any organ(s) but most commonly affects the lungs and kidneys -- which can result in a "pulmonary-renal syndrome". Indeed it, along with '''[[Goodpasture syndrome (hypersensitivity angiitis)]]''' are the two most common specific causes of [[Pulmonary-Renal Syndrome in ICD10 | pulmonary-renal syndrome]]s.

*It also is referred to as ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune conditions that causes an inflammation of blood vessels with various manifestations. It includes three main diseases, which are granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; formerly known as Wegener granulomatosis), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome), and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Other ANCA-associated diseases are drug-induced vasculitis and renal limited vasculitis.
