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.
