Overview
Obtaining a complete history is a critical aspect of making a clinical diagnosis of Microscopic polyangiitis.As it can help differentiate between the Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(ANCA) associated vasculitis and other possible causes that may mimic the disease. There are many similarities that are present between ANCA associated vasculitis and Microscopic polyangiitis. A history and clinical symptoms can help assess the disease.
