Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare form of vasculitis affecting small vessels. Hallmark features include necrotizing granulomas and pauci-immune vasculitis, most commonly affecting the upper respiratory tract, lungs, and kidneys. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis diseases comprise granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. These syndromes share overlapping etiologies and clinical presentations, particularly granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis. Due to the variable systemic manifestations, a high index of suspicion is required for accurate diagnosis. Despite their rarity, these diseases are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and have been the focus of numerous recent clinical trials. These trials have generated extensive data and treatment recommendations. This activity describes the clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, highlighting the role of the interprofessional team in treating patients with this disease.
