Prevalence and clinical significance of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease
The prevalence of ANCAs in patients with RA-ILD is high, and ANCA testing could be considered in the diagnostic workup for RA-ILD. Oddly shaped cysts with or without a UIP pattern may be a characteristic chest imaging manifestation of ANCA-positive RA-ILD. More attention should be given to RA-ILD patients who have elevated SPAP.
