- Abstract
ANCA-associated vasculitis is a systemic autoimmune disease with a severe course and a high percentage of renal involvement. It is much more common in the adult population than in children, so there are few large case-control studies in pediatric population. We present case reports of six children treated for ANCA-associated vasculitis over the past five years. In addition to the case presentation, we will also discuss current immunosuppressive therapeutic options and the issue of plasmapheresis. We describe the initial symptoms and the time between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis. We present the initial laboratory data and a 12-month retrospective follow-up of renal function. We also describe the therapies used in our patients. Given the small number of cases, we do not aim to present detailed statistical conclusions.
