Status: Closed to Enrollment

Summary

In the longitudinal studies, clinical and laboratory information will be collected on patients with vasculitis to study the disease over an extended period of time. The data from the longitudinal studies will be used by scientists to study the genetics and causes of vasculitis, find new ways to track disease and predict responses, to understand how to treat patients, and much more.

Target Enrollment

A total of 150 patients with PAN will be enrolled.

Patients will have disease in various stages and of different duration.

An adaptation of the American College of Rheumatology criteria will be used for the diagnosis of PAN. At the time of inclusion, one major and one minor criteria or two major criteria must be met. These criteria assume the investigator has diagnosed the patient with vasculitis and these criteria are meant to help more specifically classify the patient's diagnosis.
