Overview

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.

Environmental triggers
  • Environmental triggers such as exposure to silica have been found to influence the progression of the disease.But, its role in disease progression is not fully understood.[1]

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)

Key-points regarding ANCA in microscopic polyangiitis include:[2][3][4][5]
