Many forms of systemic vasculitis affect the kidneys. Vasculitis can produce a wide variety of renal manifestations depending on the type of vessel affected. Large vessel vasculitis (Takayasu’s arteritis) can involve the abdominal aorta and renal arteries, resulting in renal ischemia and renovascular hypertension. Medium-sized vessel vasculitis such as polyarteritis nodosa can involve the renal artery and its intrarenal branches, resulting in renal ischemia, renal infarction and hemorrhage. Small vessel vasculitis such as microscopic polyarteritis nodosa can involve the glomerular capillaries, resulting in glomerulonephritis and renal failure.Keywords: Kidney; vasculitisTurkiye Klinikleri J Int Med Sci 2007, 3(4):36-43
