Abstract:

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic autoimmune disease that most often involves small blood vessels in the kidneys, causing inflammation, necrosis, and granulomatous infiltration of glomeruli and arterioles, resulting in the renal damage in AAV. The pathogenesis of renal damage in AAV is very complex and has not yet been fully elucidated, the most prominent pathological feature of which is inflammation involving activation of neutrophils, the alternative pathway of complement, and the interaction of other immune cells. This article reviewed research progress on the inflammatory and immune mechanisms of renal damage in AAV.

Key words: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, ANCA-associated vasculitis, Renal damage, Inflammation, Immune
