Overview
There are no known direct causes for Microscopic polyangiitis.Microscopic polyangiitis can affect individuals from all ethnicities and at any age group.Vasculitis is a common term that refers to inflammation of the blood vessels in the body.When the inflammation progress it lead to weakening and stretch of the blood vessels and forms a aneurysm.Microscopic polyangiitis is not a cancer, not contagious, and it does not usually occur within families.
