Urologic and male genital manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis
چکیده انگلیسی

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis, which predominantly affects small-sized blood vessels. Major organ involvement includes the upper/lower respiratory tract and kidneys. In contrast, genitourinary disease is rare in GPA patients, reported in < 1% of cases in large cohorts. Manifestations at this level include prostatitis, destructive urethritis, genital ulcers, orchitis and renal masses. Also, high-dose cyclophosphamide, one of the main immunosuppressive drugs used for GPA treatment, is associated with bladder toxicity, i.e., hemorrhagic cystitis and cancer. Here, we review the main urogenital symptoms associated with this ANCA-associated vasculitis. In addition, cyclophosphamide-induced urologic complications are detailed.
