Alternative pathway complement activation in ANCA‐associated vasculitis is a key feature in the pathogenesis. Our findings reinforce the finding that complement C5a and C3a are regulated during phases of disease activity. Meta‐analysis revealed significant changes in MAC, C5a, factor B, and borderline changes in C3a.
