Additional Info
- Wegener's granulomatosis is the OLD name of this disorder.
- The new official name is Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)
- It also is referred to as ANCA-associated vasculitis.
- It is an autoimmune vasculitis, which causes inflammation and narrowing/blocking of small and medium-sized vessels.
- 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 syndromes.
