Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)
Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis at the July 2023 check-in, patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) reported similar scores/ratings for fatigue, symptoms of vasculitis, and pain. However, there were differences in the reporting of flares and current status of vasculitis, with patients with GPA reporting fewer flares and a smaller percentage reporting active vasculitis.
If you have concerns about your health scores, please discuss with your rheumatologist or primary care provider.
