ABSTRACT:

Background

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis (AAV) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) positivity. Patients with AAV are known to be at high risk for the occurrence of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). The authors aimed to explore the risk factors in patients with AAV-ILD to enhance awareness among the public and healthcare providers, and to facilitate the timely adoption of effective strategies for prevention and management.
