Vasculitis & polymyalgia rheumatica
Highlights from the breakout session: other forms of vasculitis
Study context
- Population
- Studies on other forms of vasculitis presented at a breakout session: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), retroperitoneal fibrosis, adult-onset IgA Vasculitis (IgAV) and crescentic IgA nephropathy
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis (prospective multicentre RCT): MTX with tapering GC effective in inducing remission and allows lower cumulative prednisone doses
- ACR/EULAR classification criteria histopathologic scoring for IgG4-RD distinguished confirmed and suspected IgG4-RD
- RTX (retrospective): high rate of renal response in IgAV; lower remission rates and poorer renal outcomes in crescentic IgA Nephropathy (cIgAN) vs IgAV
