Abstract

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a kind of systemic vasculitis, which mainly involves small vessels, including arterioles, capillary arteries, capillaries, capillary venules, and medium-sized arteries. MPA most often invades the kidneys, lungs, and skin. MPA is the most common cause of pulmonary hemorrhage-nephritis syndrome.
