AB  - Vasculitides  affecting  the  kidneys  are  typically  associated  with  hematuria  and  proteinuria,  frequently  presenting  as  a  rapidly  progressive  glomerulonephritis.Glomerular  injury  occurs  in  the  setting  of  the  small  vessel  vasculitides,  associated  with  antineutrophil  cytoplasmic  autoantibodies  (ANCA),  antiglomerular  basement  membrane  antibodies  (anti-GBM),  or  the  presence  of  immune  complex  formation  such  as  with  Henoch–Schönlein  purpura  (HSP),  cryoglobulinemic  vasculitis,  and  systemic  lupus  erythematosus  (SLE).They  may  affect  the  kidneys  alone,  but  are  more  frequently  part  of  a  multiorgan  disease  that  may  affect  the  skin,  upper  and  lower  respiratory  tracts,  and  the  musculoskeletal,  gastrointestinal,  and  nervous  systems.
