16. Clinical and molecular studies in ANCA associated vasculitis
Sammanfattning : ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV) is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by sterile pauci-immune systemic small vessel inflammation and closely associated with the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies (ANCA). Although AAV can affect any organ, the kidney, skin, lungs and upper and lower airways are most commonly involved. LÄS MER
17. The Contribution of Innate Immunity to the Pathogenesis of ANCA-associated Vasculitis
Sammanfattning : Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) constitute a group of vasculitides characterized by neutrophil-rich necrotizing inflammation of small vessels and the presence of ANCA in the circulation. Dying neutrophils surrounding the walls of small vessels are a histological hallmark of AAV. LÄS MER
18. Immunological studies on anca-associated vasculitis with special reference to T cell activation
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the role of T cells in ANCA-associated vasculitis. We initially investigated activation markers on T cells in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and renal limited disease (RLD) and found increased expression indicating continuous activation despite clinical remission.

20. The Importance of Demographic and Geographical Factors on the Incidence and Outcome of Systemic Small Vessel Vasculitis Associated with Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies
Sammanfattning : The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) comprise microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Two serotypes are recognized: myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA and proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA. LÄS MER
