Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, a new nomenclature for Wegener's Granulomatosis - Case report

Abstract: The granulomatosis with polyangiitis, initially known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a small and medium vessels vasculitis. It's classic form presents a triad: necrotizing granuloma of respiratory tract, necrotizing cutaneous vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. This vasculitis has cytoplasmic antineutrophil antibodies as signal. This work illustrates a case, of multisystemic rare disease, in which the segment and treatment were considered satisfactory for symptoms remission.

“…Patients should be managed in specialist centers with a multidisciplinary approach [ 17 ]. If left untreated, GPA has an extremely poor survival rate, and the mean survival of untreated patients is five months [ 18 ]. This justifies the aggressive use of immunotherapy in the treatment of GPA.…”

“…Classificada como vasculite granulomatosa necrotizante de pequenos e médios vasos, a GPA é uma rara doença multissistêmica. 9 A presença de sua tríade -inflamação granulomatosa necrotizante das vias aéreas, vasculite cutânea e glomerulonefrite -foi observada de forma parcial e não simultânea em nosso caso, pois a paciente não apresentou lesões cutâneas durante a sua evolução e o comprometimento renal apareceu após seis anos do início da doença.…”

“…O comprometimento renal mais frequentemente observado (75 a 80% dos pacientes) é a glomerulonefrite necrotizante focal e segmentar, que pode, em alguns casos, evoluir para glomerulonefrite difusa crescêntica clinicamente manifesta por lesão renal aguda. 9 Em nosso caso, foram encontrados proteinúria não nefrótica, hematúria glomerular e aumento dos níveis de creatinina nos exames laboratoriais entre os anos 2014 e 2017. Ressalta-se que, a partir de setembro de 2016, a paciente começou a apresentar diminuição da proteinúria na urina de 24 horas, bem como estabilização da creatinina e redução nos marcadores inflamatórios, além de anticorpos não reagentes.…”
