Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) comprises microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and eosinophilic GPA (EGPA). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3) are the main antigens for ANCA. AAV is a common multisystem autoimmune disease and most of the studies on AAV have been conducted in Western countries. Nowadays in China many efforts are made to investigate this disease.
