Abstract: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)associated vasculitis is a group of autoim-mune diseases involved with multiple systems. This disease is relatively rare with complex condition. It is likely to make a misdiagnosis and miss diagnosis due to non-specific early symptoms. One case of ANCA associated vasculitis was admitted to our department and mainly characterized with dizziness,fatigue,anorexia and other systemic symptoms,accompanied by progressive renal failure,leading to challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although the patient was finally diagnosed,early intervention was not delivered due to poor general condition. The diagnosis and treatment of this case hint that deepening the understanding of ANCA associated vasculitis can reduce the misdiagnosis and missing diagnosis rates.
