ANCA vasculitis & kidneys

[Snowcountry]

Recently I developed red rashes (purpura) on my legs/thigh. Examined by a dermatogist as skin vasculitis I treated it with prescription meds and ointment. The rashes are now all gone in a week.

But I recently learned that such a red rash "may" indicate ANCA vascultis in the glomeruli as a possible cause for my kidney disfunction. I see that there are blood tests and biopsy to diagnose, and quite a hefty treatment.

Has anyone with CKD or on dialysis ever run across this ANCA vasculitus?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I never worried about it before, but now I'll have to go on a research jag. LOL.

It is something that I plan to look at, and I have an appointment to see some of my care team in about 30 mins, so there's a possibility I'll bring it up there.
