Abstract EN
Wegener’s granulomatosis is a serious autoimmune disorder characterized by necrotizing small-vessel vasculitis.
It is a multisystem disease that primarily affects the lung and kidneys.
Previous studies indicated few relapses of vasculitis after hemodialysis due to uremic immunosuppression.
Our case report describes an end-stage renal failure patient who had developed non-caseating lung granulomata with giant cell formation and fibrinoid necrosis of arterial media that is consistent with Wegner’s granulomatosis for the first time and eight years after initiation of maintenance hemodialysis.
We believe that such a phenomenon has rarely been reported.
