“…The main renal features will therefore be hypertension, mild hematuria and proteinuria. However, it is interesting to note that in patients with familial Mediterranean fever, a number of ANCA(−) patients have been defined with both glomerulonephritis and proven vasculitis of medium-sized vessels, suggesting an overlap of these groups [31].…”

The systemic vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the inflammation of blood vessels. The development and implementation of advanced diagnostic tests and genetic studies have resulted in substantial improvement in our understanding of vasculitis pathogenesis, resulting in the revision of the nomenclature and classification for vasculitis. Multicenter, collaborative studies are currently underway to develop improved diagnostic criteria. In this review, the major nomenclature and classification systems for vasculitides are summarized, with special emphasis on those emerging from the recent 2012 Chapel Hill Consensus Conference (CHCC).

“…PAN in FMF patients has unique features: It appears at an earlier age than classic PAN, perirenal hematoma appears in up to 50% of patients, some have overlap features of PAN and microscopic PAN, and the prognosis is relatively good 9 . Other than reports of these 2 diseases, there are no large epidemiological studies suggesting that non-amyloid glomerular disease is more frequent in FMF patients than in the general population.…”

“…The disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, pleuritis, peritonitis, synovitis and pericarditis. The major complication of FMF is the development of renal amyloidosis leading to end stage renal failure and it remains the leading cause of FMF-related mortality (5)(6)(7)(8). Colchicine was found to be an effective drug in the treatment of FMF (9).…”
