| description | Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a systemic vasculitis that affects small caliber vessels, with renal and lung compromise. Diagnosis can be challenging; timely diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent devastating complication, particularly renal failure.

We provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic keys to microscopic polyangiitis. |
