ABSTRACT

What we currently know as anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis had previously been recognized in 1923, 1937 and 1951 in autopsies and later renamed microscopic polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. In 1954, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener) was reported for the first time in a clinical journal and in 1964 Alarcon- Segovia included it in its classification. At first, the finding of ANCA in patients with glomerulonephritis with extra-renal manifestations did not attract attention. Van der Woude used them as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener). The Chapel-Hill nomenclature revised in 2012 subdivided small-vessel vasculitides into 2 subtypes: immune complex vasculitis and ANCA-associated vasculitis. In 2022, a group of experts endorsed by the ACR/EULAR developed and validated the classification criteria for these 3 types of ANCA-associated vasculitis.
