Abstract
Purpose of review: This review will attempt to summarize the most potentially impactful new data on the way ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is diagnosed, treated, and monitored.
Recent findings: The newly developed classification criteria for AAV have serious methodological issues that need to be addressed before they are widely adopted. The newly approved drugs and studies into both achieving remission and maintaining it have added to our overall knowledge of managing AAV and should hopefully contribute to improving outcomes in AAV.
Summary: The diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of AAV have seen major improvements in the last two years. The remaining issues outlined in this review still need to be addressed to best serve AAV patients.
