“…Since MPA and COVID-19 are interdisciplinary problems, patients with MPA, as well as patients with chronic kidney disease with post-covid syndrome [48], are subject to constant monitoring by an interdisciplinary team of doctors to prevent the development of complications or irreversible changes in the affected organs, ensure long-term remission, which will allow to extend life expectancy and improve its quality.…”

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is one of the three clinical phenotypes of vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Although MPA is considered a rare form of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), clinical evidence shows that it is fairly common among nephrologists, as it manifests as a systemic, weak-immune vasculitis affecting glomerular capillaries, resulting in necrotizing glomerulonephritis (GN) diagnosed in nearly 100% of MPA patients. The issue of AAV in general, and MPA specifically, has gained significant importance in the context of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, as both conditions share common anatomical sites of infection and inflammation. This study presents three new cases of MPA in post-COVID-19 patients. The analysis and presentation encompassed demographic data, patient history regarding comorbidities, details of follow-up care, chronology with COVID-19, and laboratory findings at the time of MPA diagnosis. A comparative analysis of the chronological progression of MPA in the documented clinical cases reveals the polymorphic nature of early-stage clinical manifestations, as well as diverse patterns of disease progression in the advanced stage. Additionally, we provide a brief literature review on diagnostic challenges, pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and AAV, and peculiarities of clinical presentations in early and advanced stages of MPA.
