In medicine (rheumatology), Wegener s granulomatosis is a form of vasculitis that affects the lungs, kidneys and other organs. Due to its end-organ damage, it can be a serious disease that requires long-term immune suppression. It is part of a larger group of vasculitic syndromes that all feature the presence for an abnormal type of circulating antibody termed ANCAs (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) and affect small and medium-sized blood vessels. Apart from Wegener s, it includes Churg-Strauss syndrome and microscopic polyangiitis. --------------------------------------... The only option, without medication that I can see is to give IV IgG.
