It Is not known why some patients with ANCA disease are treated and stay In long-term remission while others have relapses. This study will help understand the biology of remission and relapse, so treatments can be tailored to the patient. Those who stay in remission could avoid needless toxic immunosuppressive therapy, while those who relapse could be treated with drugs that suppress the cause of disease activity. Insights into the biology of this disease will help in understanding other autoimmune diseases.
