| Popis: | Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) was recognised with a high early mortality rate and the renal involvement was characterised by segmental necrotizing glomerulonephritis with high positivity of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms including fever and malaise. We reported here a woman with ANCA associated with MPA diagnosed by a chance finding of proteinuria. To the best of our knowledge, early diagnosis of this disorder only by the presence of proteinuria has not been reported previously in the English literature. |
