Overview

The early case reports of Microscopic polyangiitis provide a historical context and foundation for better understanding of the current concepts of these diseases Microscopic polyangiitis.Microscopic polyangiitis was first introduced by Dr. Friedrich Wohlwill, a German neuropathologist, who described two patients with transmural periarteritis with glomerulonephritis in 1923.Historically, most forms of vasculitis like microscopic polyangiitis described subsequently classified on the basis of features similar to or distinct from polyarteritis.According to The International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference (CHCC) criteria based on Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) into granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), including renal-limited vasculitis (RLV), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, Churg-Strauss).The pathogenesis of Microscopic polyangiitis is currently not fully understood. However, certain hypothesizes have been made to determine possible factors that may trigger the disease such as environmental factors and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Capillaries and venules are involved in the pathogenesis of microscopic polyangiitis.The paucity of immunoglobulin deposition is shown in Immunohistochemical staining.
