ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background and

objectives:

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis is a small vessel vasculitis with insufficient epidemiologic estimates in the United States. We aimed to determine demographic and clinical features of ANCA associated vasculitis patients presenting to a large tertiary care referral center in Upstate New York. Design, setting, participants, and measurements A retrospective analysis of cases with pauci-immune GN on renal biopsy and clinical diagnosis of ANCA vasculitis presenting over 11 years was conducted. Outcomes of interest were demographics, ANCA antibody positivity, patient and renal survival, and regional trends.

Results:

986 biopsies were reviewed, 41 cases met the criteria for inclusion 18 GPA, 19 MPA, and 4 double positive (anti-GBM disease plus ANCA vasculitis). Mean age at presentation was 52.4 years (SD 23.7), 23 (56%) were male and median creatinine was 2.6 mg/dL. The median patient follow up was 77 weeks (IQR 10 - 263 weeks), with a 3-month mortality rate of 5.7% and a 1-year estimated mortality rate of 12%. Thirteen patients required hemodialysis at the time of diagnosis; 7 patients came off dialysis, with median time to renal recovery of 4.86 weeks (IQR 1.57 - 23.85 weeks). C-ANCA positivity (p < 0.001) and C-ANCA plus PR3 antibody pairing (p = 0.005) was statistically significant in GPA versus MPA. P-ANCA positivity was observed in MPA versus GPA (p = 0.02) and double positive versus GPA (p = 0.002), with P-ANCA and MPO antibody pairing in MPA versus GPA (p = 0.044). Thirty-seven of the 41 cases were referred locally, 16 cases were from within a 15-mile radius of Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga counties.

Conclusions:

ANCA vasculitis is associated with end stage renal disease and increased mortality. Our study suggests the possibility of higher regional incidence of pauci-immune GN in Upstate New York. Further studies should investigate the causes of clustering of cases to specific regions.
RESUMO
RESUMO Introdução e

objetivos:

A vasculite associada a anticorpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilo (ANCA) é uma vasculite de pequenos vasos com estimativas epidemiológicas insuficientes nos Estados Unidos. Nosso objetivo foi determinar características demográficas e clínicas de pacientes com vasculite associada à ANCA, apresentando-se a um grande centro de referência de atendimento terciário em Upstate New York. Formato, cenário, participantes e medidas Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva dos casos de GN pauci-imune em biópsias renais e diagnóstico clínico de vasculite ANCA por mais de 11 anos. Os resultados de interesse foram dados demográficos, positividade de anticorpos ANCA, sobrevidas renal e de pacientes e tendências regionais.

Resultados:

986 biópsias foram revisadas, 41 casos preencheram os critérios de inclusão 18 GPA, 19 PAM, e 4 duplo-positivos (doença anti-MBG com vasculite ANCA). A média de idade na apresentação foi de 52,4 anos (DP 23,7), 23 (56%) eram do sexo masculino e mediana de creatinina de 2,6 mg/dL. O acompanhamento mediano dos pacientes foi de 77 semanas (IQR 10 - 263 semanas), com uma taxa de mortalidade de 3 meses de 5,7% e uma taxa de mortalidade estimada em 1 ano de 12%. Treze pacientes necessitaram de hemodiálise no momento do diagnóstico; 7 pacientes saíram da diálise, com tempo médio para recuperação renal de 4,86 semanas (IQR 1,57 - 23,85 semanas). A positividade para C-ANCA (p < 0,001) e o pareamento de anticorpos C-ANCA mais PR3 (p = 0,005) foram estatisticamente significantes em GPA versus PAM. A positividade de P-ANCA foi observada em PAM versus GPA (p = 0,02) e duplo positivo versus GPA (p = 0,002), com pareamento de anticorpos P-ANCA e MPO em PAM versus GPA (p = 0,044). Trinta e sete dos 41 casos foram encaminhados localmente, 16 casos foram de dentro de um raio de 15 milhas dos condados de Albany, Schenectady e Saratoga.

Conclusões:

A vasculite por ANCA está associada à doença renal terminal e aumento da mortalidade. Nosso estudo sugere a possibilidade de maior incidência regional de GN pauci-imune no norte do estado de Nova York. Novos estudos devem investigar as causas do acúmulo de casos em regiões específicas.
