Mashup Score: 37Nailfold videocapillaroscopy in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis - Arthritis Research & Therapy - 4 month(s) ago
Objective Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of illnesses that cause inflammation and alterations to small vessels in the body. Some of the most common and detrimental manifestations, including alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis, are caused by this capillary inflammation. We sought to clarify whether patients with AAV would have abnormal nailfold capillaries when evaluated with nailfold videocapillaroscopy. Methods Patients with a current diagnosis of AAV and a control group were identified for enrollment. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy images were used for a semiquantitative analysis on capillary density, morphology, dilation, and microhemorrhage after review by 2 rheumatologists. Disease characteristics, occurrence of recent disease flare, and presence of ANCA were recorded. Results Thirty-three patients with a diagnosis of AAV and 21 controls were recruited. The AAV group had a median age of 59 and 17 (52%) were women. Granulomato
