Abstract
The article examines the renal vasculitis in microscopic polyarteritis nodosa. Eosinophilia was detected in a minority of patients and renal biopsy is used for the diagnosis. Steroids with azathioprine are used for treating microscopic polyarteritis. Renal vasculitis is also found in systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis.
