The association between ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is poorly understood.Initial evaluation for ANCA should be performed at diagnosis in all patients with pulmonary fibrosis; ANCA positivity will increase risk of development of vasculitis and promote further evaluation and specific monitoring http://ow.ly/hf4730kVZF8 ER -
