Overview

The prevalence of Microscopic polyangiitis ranges from 1 to 3 per 100,000 a year, with higher pravalence rates occuring in Southern European countries and Asia. The incidence of the disease is 5.9 per million a year in the United Kingdom.

Epidemiology

Prevalence

The prevalence of Microscopic polyangiitis is ranges form 1 to 3 per 100,000 persons per year.

Incidence

Microscopic polyangiitis in Europe is seen with higher incidences in Southern countries than in Northern countries. [1]

The incidence of Microscopic polyangiitis is estimated to be 5.9 per million persons per year in the United Kingdom.[2]

The incidence rate in the United States is estimated to be 3.6 per million persons.

During the last two decades the incidences of Microscopic polyangiitis has increased, which is due to the availability of testing for ANCA.
