This analysis of over a hundred DP-ANCA cases suggests substantial diversity in clinical and immunopathological presentations. Approximatively 50% of DP-ANCA patients develop AAV, either as drug-induced or idiopathic forms, while the remaining 50%, characterized by pre-existing dysimmune conditions, demonstrates a remarkably low vasculitis risk. These findings underscore the complex nature of DP-ANCA, its variable impact on patient health, and the necessity for personalized diagnostic and management approaches in these cases.
