Abstract
In the past several years, significant progress has occurred in the therapeutic management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. This has resulted in improved survival rates for all members of this group of inflammatory vascular disorders. However, the rate of treatment failure or resistance and relapse has remained relatively constant despite therapeutic advances. This article reviews risk factors associated with these failures, with hopes that better understanding may lead to improved therapeutic responses and less therapy-related toxicity.Entities:
