Overview

Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect in making a clinical diagnosis of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. As it can help differentiate between the ANCA associated vasculitis and other possible causes that may mimic the disease. There are many similarities that are present between ANCA associated vacuities and Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. A history and clinical symptoms can help assess the disease.

History and Symptoms

Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect in making a clinical diagnosis of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. As it can help differentiate between the ANCA associated vasculitis and other possible causes that may mimic the disease.

The initial symptomsthat are present in patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis are non-specific in nature. The following are history and symptoms of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis:[1][2][3][4]

Constitutional Symptoms

Ear, nose and throat involvement:

Pulmonary involvement:

Renal involvement:

Cutaneous involvement:

Ophthalmic involvement:

Nervous system involvement:

  • mononeuritis multiplex
  • sensory neuropathy
  • sensorineural hearing loss
  • pachymeningitis


A diagnosis of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis can be made when three out of the six criteria are established. They are:[5]

  1. a histopathology that shows granuloma
  2. the upper respiratory tract is involved
  3. there is a stenosis that is present in larynx, trachea, and the bronchioles
  4. the pulmonary system is involved
  5. the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
  6. the presence of glomerulonephritis
