They include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). The AAVs are treated with high dose glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and targeted biological medications. Since the 1990s classification criteria for the AAVs have been based on clinical features, laboratory tests and basic imaging; an initiative to update the classification criteria incorporating newer tests, for example, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and novel imaging techniques will be published this year. There is also evidence for classification of patients based on ANCA subtype; those with anti-proteinase 3 antibodies (PR3) or anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies (MPO) have differences in response to treatment and clinical outcomes. An update is described within this review. The pathogenesis of AAV involves necrotizing inflammation of small to medium blood vessels involving multiple immunological pathways. We present an update on emerging evidence related to auto-antibodies, complement and lymphocyte pathways. This review describes emerging treatment regimens, including evidence for plasma exchange in severe disease and the inhibitor of the complement C5a receptor (C5aR) inhibitor, Avacopan. Lastly, patient reported outcomes are key secondary outcomes in randomised controlled trials and increasingly clinical practice, we report development in disease specific and glucocorticoid-specific PROs.Keywords: vasculitis, pathogenesis, patient-reported outcomes, epidemiology
