This is the first report of NXG-associated large-vessel vasculitis. Low-dose prednisolone may benefit for NXG-associated vasculitis and cardiomyopathy. HDL, Apo-A1, and C-reactive protein levels may be useful for monitoring the activity of NXG, and PET/CT was a valuable diagnostic tool for NXG-associated vasculitis.
