Core Tip |
Urogenital manifestations of primary systemic vasculitides are rare. Patients will usually have other systemic signs and symptoms to suggest an underlying vasculitic process. Inflammatory markers including erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein are often raised and specific auto-antibody testing may be useful in identifying the underlying diagnosis. If an underlying vasculitic process is suspected, early involvement of a specialist is essential. Symptoms usually improve with immunosuppressive therapy and may avoid the need for invasive surgery. Patients who present with isolated single-organ vasculitis of the urogenital tract will need to be followed up closely in case they subsequently develop systemic disease. |
