Understanding Microscopic Polyangiitis

Microscopic polyangiitis or MPA is a rare disease resulting in blood vessel inflammation or vasculitis. This inflammation can damage internal organs such as the kidneys, lung, nerves, skin, and joints. What makes this disease so interesting is that no one is immune. MPA has been diagnosed in men, women, children and the elderly. The blog is for informational purposes only and was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for N5308 Nursing Informatics.
